Gilbert Park, Downers Grove, IL

Gilbert Park in Downers Grove spans 12 acres with a playground, two lighted tennis courts, a basketball court, and a picnic shelter.

Mature trees shade most of the grounds, and the park’s central location places it within a mile of the Downers Grove Public Library, the Main Street Metra station, and several grocery stores along Ogden Avenue. Street parking is available along Gilbert Avenue, and the park is adjacent to the Downers Grove North High School athletic fields, providing additional open space during non-school hours.
