Kirk Park, Waukegan, IL

Kirk Park spans 67 acres along Waukegan’s east side, offering direct Lake Michigan access through a 0.75-mile paved shoreline trail that connects to the Robert McClory Bike Path. Two lighted baseball diamonds and four soccer fields with permanent goalposts support organized leagues, while a 1.2-acre playground includes adaptive equipment for children with disabilities. The park’s 18-hole disc golf course winds through wooded sections and open meadows, and a fishing pier extends 200 feet into the lake. Restrooms, drinking fountains, and 150 parking spaces are located near the main entrance on Pershing Road, with an additional lot off Greenwood Avenue serving the northern fields. Mature cottonwood and oak trees provide shade along the shoreline, and the park sits within a five-minute drive of downtown Waukegan shops and the Metra Union Pacific-North Line station.
