Pedersen Park, Antioch, IL

Pedersen Park covers 102 acres in central Antioch and includes two baseball fields, four soccer fields, a playground, and a 1.2-mile paved loop trail that circles the grounds. The trail connects to the 6.2-mile North Shore Bike Path, allowing residents to reach downtown Antioch or the Chain O’Lakes State Park without driving. A 12-acre retention pond supports seasonal fishing and attracts waterfowl, while mature oak and hickory stands provide shade along the eastern edge. Restrooms, drinking fountains, and a 40-space parking lot sit near the main entrance off North Avenue. The park lies within a mile of IL Route 173 and the Metra Union Pacific-Northwest Line station, shortening commute times to Chicago. Evening lighting on the athletic fields extends use into fall, and adjacent open lawns accommodate informal picnics and kite flying.
