Lyon School Park, Glenview, IL

Lyon School Park covers 23 acres at the north end of Glenview and includes two baseball diamonds, a full-size soccer field, four tennis courts, and a playground with modern climbing structures. A 0.8-mile crushed-stone loop trail circles the park and connects to the 1.5-mile North Branch Trail, giving residents direct access to a longer route that runs along the North Branch of the Chicago River. The park also contains a picnic grove with grills and shaded tables, plus a small sledding hill that is groomed by the Park District after snowfall. Lyon School itself sits on the same parcel, so families can walk children to classes without crossing major streets. The park is bordered by residential streets on three sides and by open school grounds on the fourth, resulting in unobstructed western views of the sunset over the playing fields. Nearby, The Glen Town Center provides grocery stores, restaurants, and the Glenview Metra station within a 10-minute walk or a two-minute drive, making Lyon School Park convenient for both daily recreation and regional commuting.
