Hawthorne Park spans 23 acres at the intersection of 25th and Scott Streets in Franklin Park. The park features a lighted baseball diamond, two tennis courts, and a playground with modern equipment. A paved walking path loops the perimeter and connects to the Des Plaines River Trail, allowing residents to reach the 56-mile regional trail system without driving. Mature trees provide shade over picnic shelters equipped with grills and tables, and an open field is available for informal sports. Restrooms and drinking fountains are located near the parking lot on the south side. The park sits less than one mile from Franklin Park Public Library and the Metra Milwaukee District/West line station, giving residents easy access to downtown Chicago. Street parking is permitted along Scott Street, and the site is included in the Park District’s regular maintenance schedule.
