Chittenden Park, Gurnee, IL

Chittenden Park occupies 54 acres along the Des Plaines River in northwest Gurnee, giving residents direct access to 1.8 miles of paved trails that link to the Des Plaines River Trail system. The park features four lighted tennis courts, a playground with climbing structures and swings, and two full-size baseball diamonds with bleachers and dugouts. Anglers can fish from the riverbank, and a small picnic shelter with tables and grills provides space for gatherings. The flat terrain and open sight lines make the park easy to navigate for families with strollers or mobility devices. Its location on Grand Avenue places it less than two miles from Gurnee Mills and the Interstate 94 corridor, shortening commute times for shoppers and workers heading to Chicago or Milwaukee. Mature trees along the river provide shade in summer, while the open turf areas allow winter sledding on modest slopes after snowfall.
