Lakewood Park, Lindenhurst, IL

Lakewood Park occupies 80 acres of rolling terrain with two 18-hole disc golf courses, a fishing pond stocked with bass and bluegill, and a 1.3-mile paved loop that connects to the larger Lake County Forest Preserve trail system. Picnic shelters and a playground sit near the main parking area, while the northern section includes a baseball diamond and two lighted tennis courts. Mature oak and hickory groves provide shade along the water’s edge, and the park’s elevation offers views of the surrounding wooded residential neighborhoods. The entrance lies less than a mile from both the Metra Milwaukee District North line and Route 83, allowing residents to reach downtown Chicago or the Gurnee retail corridor within 45 minutes by car or train.
