Georgetown Park, Orland Park, IL

Georgetown Park in Orland Park, Illinois, centers on a 30-acre lake that supports fishing, kayaking, and seasonal ice skating. A 1.6-mile paved loop circles the water, connecting to the village’s larger network of trails for walking, jogging, and cycling. Playgrounds, picnic shelters with grills, and a sand volleyball court sit along the shoreline, while open turf fields accommodate soccer and frisbee. Restrooms and drinking fountains are available year-round, and parking is free at multiple lots adjacent to 140th Street and 82nd Avenue. The park is within a half-mile of the Orland Square Mall and its restaurants, and it lies three miles from the Metra Rock Island District line, giving commuters direct service to downtown Chicago. Mature oak and maple trees line the water’s edge, providing shade in summer and color in fall.
