Doolittle Park, Grayslake, IL

Doolittle Park sits along the Grayslake Prairie Trail, giving residents direct access to a 7.5-mile paved path that connects to the larger Lake County Forest Preserve network. The park includes two lighted ball fields, four tennis courts, a playground with safety surfacing, and a 0.6-acre fishing pond stocked annually by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. A 3,200-square-foot community center provides meeting rooms, a fitness area, and restrooms open year-round. Mature oak and maple trees line the western edge, creating shaded picnic areas with permanent grills and tables. The park is less than one mile from downtown Grayslake, where the Metra Union Pacific North Line station offers weekday service to Chicago. Nearby, residents can reach Rollins Road commercial corridors for groceries and services within a five-minute drive. Seasonal programs run by the Grayslake Park District include youth baseball leagues, adult pickleball, and a summer concert series held at the park’s amphitheater.
