Hillcrest Park, Homewood, IL

Hillcrest Park spans 30 acres in Homewood and serves as the village’s primary outdoor recreation area. The park contains lighted tennis and pickleball courts, two playgrounds, a sand volleyball court, and a 1.1-mile paved loop trail used by runners and cyclists. A nine-hole disc golf course winds through mature oak and maple stands, while the northern section includes a sledding hill maintained by Public Works each winter. Restroom buildings and drinking fountains are located at both the Ridge Road and Dixie Highway entrances, and free Wi-Fi covers the central shelter. The park sits two blocks from the Metra Electric Line’s Homewood station and one mile from the I-80/294 interchange, giving residents direct commuter access. An adjacent 18-acre retention area managed by the Homewood-Flossmoor Park District supplies additional open space for walking and seasonal bird-watching.
