Northfield Avenue Park covers 27 acres in northwest Harvard and includes a playground with climbing structures and swings, a lighted baseball diamond, two tennis courts, and a basketball court. A 0.8-mile paved loop trail circles the park perimeter, connecting to the adjacent 5.3-mile Puri Trail that runs south toward the downtown Metra station. Picnic shelters with grills are available for reservation, and restrooms are open from April through October. Mature oak and hickory trees line the northern edge, providing shade for the open lawn areas where residents walk dogs or play catch. The park sits three blocks from the Harvard Public Library and the municipal pool, and the Route 14 retail corridor is a five-minute drive east. Street parking is free along Northfield Avenue, and the park is plowed in winter for sledding on the modest hill near the baseball field.
