Flanagan Park offers Bellwood residents a 15-acre green space with two lighted baseball diamonds, a lighted soccer field, and four tennis courts that remain open year-round. A one-mile asphalt loop circles the park perimeter, used by joggers and cyclists, while a separate playground with poured-in-place rubber surfacing serves children ages two to twelve. Restrooms, drinking fountains, and a 40-space parking lot sit near the main entrance on Butterfield Road, adjacent to the Eisenhower Expressway on-ramp. The park also contains a 6,000-square-foot community center with meeting rooms available for private rental. Bellwood Public Library lies two blocks south, and a Metra Union Pacific West Line station is a ten-minute walk east, giving residents direct access to downtown Chicago.
