Elliott Park, Evanston, IL

Elliott Park sits on the west side of Evanston at the intersection of Church Street and Florence Avenue. The 6.5-acre site features two full-size baseball diamonds with bleachers, four lighted tennis courts, a basketball court, and a playground equipped with climbing structures and swings. A 0.4-mile paved loop path circles the perimeter, connecting to the North Shore Channel Trail for longer walks or bike rides. Mature trees provide shade along the path, and an open lawn area is used for informal picnics and pick-up games. The park is bordered by residential streets on three sides and by the North Shore Channel on the fourth, offering views of the water and the adjacent greenway. It is less than a quarter-mile from the Central Street business district, where residents can walk to grocery stores, coffee shops, and the Metra Union Pacific North line station for trips into Chicago.
