Concord Square Park, Downers Grove, IL

Concord Square Park occupies 21 acres at the intersection of Concord and Curtiss streets in central Downers Grove. Its centerpiece is a lighted, regulation-size baseball field used by both youth leagues and adult slow-pitch teams. Adjacent to the diamond are two full-size basketball courts, a sand volleyball court, and a six-hole disc-golf loop that winds through mature oak stands. A 0.6-mile crushed-limestone perimeter trail connects to the east–west Prairie Path spur, allowing runners and cyclists to continue toward the Morton Arboretum without re-entering traffic. Picnic shelters with grills and electric outlets can be reserved through the Park District, and restrooms remain open year-round. The park’s northern edge borders the Downers Grove Public Library and a Metra commuter lot, giving residents a two-block walk to weekday trains and weekend farmers-market stalls. Street parking is plentiful along Concord, and the surrounding residential blocks feature sidewalks on both sides, making the park reachable on foot for most households in the 60515 zip code.
