Menominee Park, Des Plaines, IL

Menominee Park occupies 23 acres along the Des Plaines River, offering residents direct river access and 1.3 miles of paved multi-use trails that connect to the larger Des Plaines River Trail. The park features a lighted baseball diamond, two tennis courts, a playground with modern safety surfacing, and two reservable picnic shelters with grills and restrooms. An off-leash dog area sits at the park’s southwest corner, while a sledding hill near the parking lot provides seasonal recreation. Mature oak and hickory trees line the riverbank, creating continuous shade along the trails. The park is 0.4 miles from downtown Des Plaines Metra station and within a ten-minute drive of both I-90 and I-294, allowing commuters quick access to Chicago or O’Hare. Nearby grocery stores, pharmacies, and restaurants along River Road add everyday convenience without requiring residents to leave the immediate area.
