Lagoon Park, Oak Forest, IL

Lagoon Park in Oak Forest spans 35 acres and features a 2.2-mile paved trail that loops around a central lagoon, providing a flat, accessible route for walking, jogging, and cycling. The park includes two playgrounds with modern equipment, a sand volleyball court, and six tennis courts maintained by the Oak Forest Park District. Anglers can access fishing piers on the lagoon, which is stocked seasonally with bluegill and catfish. Picnic shelters equipped with grills and restrooms are available for reservation, and the park’s open fields accommodate soccer and baseball practices. Mature trees line the perimeter, offering shade along the trail and a buffer from adjacent residential streets.
