Knoll Park, Highland Park, IL

Knoll Park sits on 18 acres in central Highland Park and includes a 1.3-mile paved loop path that connects to the adjacent Robert McClory Bike Path. The park’s terrain rises and falls gently, offering runners and cyclists short elevation changes without leaving city limits. An 18-hole disc-golf course threads through mature oak and hickory stands, while two lighted tennis courts and a basketball court occupy the southern edge. Near the main parking area, a fenced playground with separate zones for toddlers and older children sits beside a reservable picnic shelter equipped with grills and running water. Open lawns provide space for informal sports, and a small pollinator garden maintained by the Park District attracts seasonal butterflies. The park is three blocks north of the Metra Union Pacific North line and two blocks west of the downtown business district, allowing residents to walk or bike to shops, restaurants, and commuter trains.
