Oldberg Park, Evanston, IL

Oldberg Park sits at the northern end of Evanston, bordered by residential streets and the North Shore Channel Trail. The 14-acre site contains two full-size baseball diamonds with dugouts and bleachers, a lighted soccer field, and four tennis courts. A playground with modern equipment and a separate splash pad draw families on warm days, while a small picnic grove with permanent grills and tables provides space for gatherings. Mature trees line the park’s perimeter, offering shade along the paved walking loop that connects to the regional trail system. The park’s location places residents within a short walk of Central Street shops and restaurants, and Metra’s Union Pacific North line is three blocks south, giving commuters direct service to downtown Chicago.
