Old Sawmill Parkway, Naperville, IL

Old Sawmill Parkway runs through Naperville’s southwest quadrant, where a wide multi-use trail parallels the roadway and connects to the larger DuPage River Trail system. The corridor is lined with mature trees that provide shade for walkers, runners, and cyclists, while open green space on both sides offers unobstructed views of the adjacent pond and prairie restoration areas. Residents can access several neighborhood parks directly from the trail, including one with a playground, picnic shelter, and lighted tennis courts. The parkway also sits less than two miles from downtown Naperville via the Riverwalk extension, allowing easy bicycle commutes to shops, restaurants, and the Metra station. On weekends, the same route serves families heading to the Centennial Beach aquatic center or the Naperville Sportsman’s Club archery range. Because the street is lightly traveled outside rush hours, morning and evening walks remain quiet, and street-side lighting supports safe use after dark.
