Friends Park spans 22 acres in central Glencoe and serves as a major recreation hub for residents. A 1.1-mile paved loop path circles the park, connecting to the Green Bay Trail and allowing direct access to downtown Glencoe and the Glencoe Metra station. Two full-size baseball fields, four tennis courts with a practice wall, and a playground equipped with climbing structures and swings occupy the northern section. The southern half contains open turf used for soccer and lacrosse, bordered by mature oak and maple trees that provide shade along the walking paths. Restrooms, drinking fountains, and lighted athletic fields support evening use. The park sits three blocks from the Glencoe Public Library and within a ten-minute walk of both Glencoe Beach on Lake Michigan and the Metra line, giving households convenient access to commuting, waterfront recreation, and daily errands without leaving the village.
