Harbor Park East, Hanover Park, IL

Harbor Park East spans 47 acres at the corner of Lake Street and Barrington Road. The park contains two playgrounds with synthetic surfacing, four lighted tennis courts, a skate park, two baseball fields, and three soccer fields. A 0.8-mile paved loop trail circles a 12-acre detention basin that also serves as a fishing pond stocked annually by the Park District. Benches and picnic tables are spaced along the shoreline, and a shelter with restrooms and drinking fountains sits at the trail’s midpoint. The park connects directly to the 3.2-mile Hanover Park Regional Trail, which links to the Elgin Branch of the Illinois Prairie Path. A Metra station on the Milwaukee District West Line is 1.2 miles south on Lake Street, and the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway entrance is less than two miles east. The surrounding residential streets are lined with mature trees, and the park’s open fields provide unobstructed views of sunsets over the water.
