Lake Park in Des Plaines covers 177 acres along the Des Plaines River and includes three baseball fields, six tennis courts, and a 1.8-mile paved multi-use trail. The trail connects to the Des Plaines River Trail, allowing uninterrupted travel north toward Lake County and south into Cook County forest preserves. Two fishing ponds are stocked seasonally by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, and a nine-hole disc golf course occupies the park’s western edge. Picnic shelters with electrical service are available by reservation through the Des Plaines Park District. Mature oak and maple stands line the riverbanks, providing shade along the water’s edge. The park sits less than one mile from downtown Des Plaines and the Union Pacific Northwest Line station, and it is adjacent to the Des Plaines Public Library and the Maine West High School athletic fields.
