McCarty Park, Aurora, IL

McCarty Park occupies 68 acres on Aurora’s near-west side, giving residents direct access to organized sports on its six lighted baseball and softball diamonds, two multi-purpose fields, and sand-volleyball courts. A 1.8-mile paved loop circles the park, connecting to the Virgil L. Gilman Trail and offering flat, uninterrupted routes for walking, jogging, and cycling. Picnic shelters with electricity, a playground with rubber surfacing, and restrooms are clustered near the main parking lot, while the northern edge borders the Fox River, providing water views and fishing access. The park sits three blocks from the Metra BNSF station, two miles from I-88, and within a short drive of grocery stores and restaurants along Galena Boulevard, allowing residents to combine outdoor recreation with convenient daily errands.
