McCollum Park, Downers Grove, IL

McCollum Park spans 92 acres in Downers Grove and offers residents a range of outdoor facilities within walking distance of several residential neighborhoods. A 1.8-mile paved loop accommodates walking, jogging, and cycling, while the park’s wooded sections provide shaded paths that connect to nearby residential streets. The park includes lighted tennis courts, a skate park, a playground with modern equipment, and four baseball/softball fields used by local youth leagues. An on-site aquatic center operates from Memorial Day through Labor Day, featuring a main pool, diving boards, and a zero-depth entry area. Picnic shelters with grills are available by reservation, and restrooms remain open year-round. The park sits less than a mile from the Downers Grove Main Street Metra station and within two miles of the I-355 corridor, giving commuters direct routes to Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Mature tree cover and open green space create a consistent natural setting adjacent to established housing developments.
