Cumberland Park, Park Ridge, IL

Cumberland Park spans 35 acres at the intersection of Cumberland and Touhy Avenues. Its central feature is a 1.2-mile paved loop trail used by residents for walking, jogging, and cycling. The trail connects to smaller paths that reach four lighted tennis courts, two full-size baseball fields, and a playground with modern equipment. A nine-hole disc golf course winds through mature oak and maple trees that provide shade along the park’s eastern edge. The park also contains two reservable picnic shelters, restrooms, and a parking lot with 120 spaces. Its location one block south of the Metra UP-NW line station allows residents to reach downtown Chicago in approximately 35 minutes without driving. The park’s open lawns and tree cover create a quiet setting within a residential neighborhood of single-family homes.
