Kiwanis Park, Des Plaines, IL

Kiwanis Park spans 29 acres along the Des Plaines River in the city’s northwest quadrant, providing residents with direct access to the Des Plaines River Trail for walking, jogging, and cycling. The park includes two lighted baseball diamonds, four tennis courts, a playground with modern safety surfacing, and two reservable picnic shelters with grills and electricity. A fishing pier extends into the river, and a dog-friendly area allows off-leash activity within a fenced perimeter. Mature trees line the riverbank and shelter the athletic fields, while the park’s position between River Road and the Metra Union Pacific Northwest Line gives homeowners quick access to both downtown Des Plaines and the O’Hare employment corridor.
