Garden Plots in Des Plaines occupies 28 acres along the Des Plaines River, with a network of paved trails that connect directly to the Des Plaines River Trail. The site includes two playgrounds, a fishing pier, and open turf fields used for pick-up sports. Its location places residents within two miles of downtown Des Plaines, Metra’s Union Pacific Northwest Line, and the Des Plaines Public Library. The Cook County Forest Preserves border the property to the north, providing additional miles of unpaved hiking and equestrian paths. Seasonal mowing and irrigation maintain the turf, while mature cottonwoods and oaks supply shade along the riverbank. Street access from River Road and Laurel Avenue allows short drives to I-90 and the Des Plaines Oasis commercial corridor.
