Devonshire Park, Highland Park, IL

Devonshire Park in Highland Park sits at the intersection of busy Deerfield Road and the quiet residential streets of the Highlands neighborhood. Its 17 acres include two full-size baseball fields, six lighted tennis courts, and a skate park that draws local youth after school. A 1.3-mile paved loop circles the park’s central lagoon, where residents walk dogs or jog while watching waterfowl. Mature oak and maple trees line the paths, providing shade in summer and color in fall. The park’s playground features separate structures for toddlers and older children, along with swings and climbing equipment. Restrooms, drinking fountains, and ample parking are located near the main entrance. Adjacent to the park is the Highland Park Country Club golf course, and the Robert McClory Bike Path runs along the east edge, connecting riders to downtown Highland Park in less than ten minutes. During winter, a lighted rink offers public skating and youth hockey programs.
