An 18-hole disc golf course winds through wooded sections and open fields, and the riverfront shoreline provides fishing access with a small boat launch. Restrooms, drinking fountains, and parking are located near the main entrance off Kimball Street. The park is approximately one mile from downtown Elgin’s Metra station and within two miles of the Prairie Street retail corridor, placing everyday shopping and commuter transit within a short drive or bike ride.
