Plonien Park, Waukegan, IL

Plonien Park sits at the intersection of North Avenue and Lewis Avenue, providing Waukegan residents with a 12-acre green space that includes a lighted baseball field, two full basketball courts, and a playground equipped with modern safety surfacing. A paved walking loop circles the perimeter, connecting to the city’s larger North Shore Bike Path for longer rides or runs. Mature trees shade picnic shelters and grills available by reservation, while an adjacent parking lot makes access simple for families carrying sports gear. The park borders Waukegan High School’s athletic fields, allowing spectators to walk between venues during events. Its central location places grocery stores, pharmacies, and the county courthouse less than two miles away, reducing daily commute times for households that value both outdoor space and urban convenience.
