Ophir Park, Zion, IL

Ophir Park sits at the northern edge of Zion, offering residents direct access to a 1.3-mile paved loop trail that connects to the 5.4-mile Des Plaines River Trail. The trail system links the park to the Illinois Beach State Park trail network, giving runners and cyclists a continuous route along the Lake Michigan shoreline. The park itself includes a lighted baseball diamond, two tennis courts, a playground with rubber surfacing, and a 30-acre open field used for youth soccer leagues. A fenced dog-exercise area occupies the southeast corner, while a picnic shelter with restrooms and drinking fountains sits near the parking lot. Mature oak and hickory trees line the perimeter, creating shade for the play areas and shelter. The park lies two miles west of the Zion Metra station, five minutes by car from Interstate 94, and within walking distance of the Sheridan Road retail corridor that includes grocery stores and pharmacies.
