Foxwood Park, Island Lake, IL

Foxwood Park sits at the center of Island Lake’s recreation network, with a 1.2-mile crushed-stone loop trail that connects directly to the 8-mile Fox River Trail and the 3-mile Lakewood Forest Preserve path system. Two small ponds within the park support catch-and-release fishing, while a fenced playground with rubberized surfacing, a sand-volleyball court, and two lighted tennis courts sit beside a 2,800-square-foot shelter equipped with electrical outlets and restrooms. The terrain includes both open turf and pockets of mature oak and hickory woodland that provide shade for picnicking and wildlife viewing. The park’s main parking lot lies less than a quarter mile from Illinois Route 176, giving residents quick access to grocery stores and the Island Lake Metra station. Public restrooms and drinking fountains remain open year-round, and the park hosts regular summer nature programs through the Island Lake Park District.
