Ehlert Park, Brookfield, IL

Ehlert Park covers 32 acres in central Brookfield and includes lighted baseball and softball diamonds, a playground, a sand volleyball court, and two basketball courts. A paved 0.7-mile loop path circles the park and connects to the larger Salt Creek Trail system, allowing residents to reach the Brookfield Zoo entrance on foot in roughly ten minutes. Picnic shelters with grills and restrooms are available for reservation through the Park District of Oak Park, and mature trees provide shade over open lawns. The park borders the Metra BNSF tracks, so weekday commuters can reach downtown Chicago in 25 minutes without driving. Nearby retail along Ogden Avenue includes a grocery store, pharmacy, and several restaurants, all within a half-mile walk. The combination of organized sports facilities, direct trail access, and transit proximity gives local households convenient daily recreation and commuting options.
