Ellingwood Park, Evanston, IL

Ellingwood Park sits on a 3.5-acre site bordered by the North Shore Channel Trail, which connects residents to the 18-mile Green Bay Trail and the 8.2-mile North Branch Trail system. The park features two lighted tennis courts, a softball diamond with bleachers, a playground with poured-in-place surfacing, and a small picnic shelter with electrical outlets. Mature oak and maple trees line the western edge, providing shade over a paved walking loop that circles the open lawn. The park is located three blocks from the Central Street Metra station and one block from Central Street’s retail corridor, which includes a grocery store, pharmacy, and several restaurants. Street parking is available along the adjacent residential blocks, and the park is within the attendance boundaries of Lincolnwood Elementary and Haven Middle School.
