Franson Park, Riverdale, IL

Franson Park sits on the south side of Riverdale and is maintained by the Riverdale Park District. The 18-acre site includes two lighted baseball diamonds, four tennis courts, a playground with separate areas for toddlers and older children, and two basketball courts. A 0.6-mile paved loop trail circles the park and connects to the Cal-Sag Trail, giving residents a direct route for walking, jogging, or biking that extends several miles east and west. A small fishing pond stocked annually by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources draws local anglers, while open turf fields are used for youth soccer and informal sports. Restrooms, drinking fountains, and a picnic shelter with grills are located near the parking lot off 134th Street. The park is less than a quarter-mile from the Riverdale Public Library and the Riverdale Metra Electric Line station, placing daily errands and commuter rail service within walking distance for nearby residents.
