Lake Ellyn Park, Glen Ellyn, IL

Lake Ellyn Park occupies 28 acres of wooded shoreline along Lake Ellyn, a 50-acre glacial kettle lake in central Glen Ellyn. A 1.2-mile paved path circles the water, connecting to the Illinois Prairie Path and providing direct access for runners and cyclists. Two playgrounds, a sand beach with lifeguards, picnic shelters, and fishing piers serve daily use, while tennis and pickleball courts draw organized leagues. Mature oak and maple stands frame open lawns used for community events and casual recreation. The park sits within a half-mile walk of Glen Ellyn’s downtown Metra station and the shops along Main Street, allowing residents to combine outdoor time with errands or commuting without driving.
