Marley Creek Park, Orland Park, IL

Marley Creek Park covers 85 acres along the banks of Marley Creek in Orland Park. A 1.6-mile paved loop trail circles the park, connecting to the 9.1-mile Orland Park Trail system that continues north to Centennial Park and south toward 179th Street. The park includes three baseball diamonds, two lighted soccer fields, four tennis courts, and a playground with rubber surfacing. Picnic shelters with grills and restrooms sit near the parking areas off 151st Street and 88th Avenue. A fishing pond stocked by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources holds bluegill, largemouth bass, and channel catfish. The creek corridor contains restored prairie and wetland areas that support seasonal bird migrations. The park is 1.5 miles from the Orland Square Mall retail corridor and less than three miles from the Metra Rock Island District station at 153rd Street, providing commuter access to downtown Chicago in about 45 minutes.
