Lippold Park, Aurora, IL

Lippold Park covers 174 acres along the Fox River in Aurora, with more than three miles of paved trails that connect to the larger Fox River Trail system. The park includes lighted athletic fields for baseball, softball, and soccer; four sand volleyball courts; two playgrounds with rubberized surfacing; and a skate park. A fishing pier extends into a 12-acre stocked pond, and an off-leash dog area is located near the south entrance. The park’s open lawns and riverfront overlooks provide unobstructed views of the water, while mature trees supply shade along the northern edge. Restrooms, drinking fountains, and a seasonal concession stand sit adjacent to the main parking lots. The park lies within two miles of the Aurora Metra station and the downtown retail corridor along New York Street, placing residential neighborhoods within walking or biking distance of daily errands and commuter service.
