Potomac Park, Elk Grove Village, IL

Potomac Park in Elk Grove Village features a 1.8-mile paved loop trail that connects to the larger Busse Woods trail system, giving residents direct access to 7,700 acres of forest preserve for hiking, biking, and jogging. The park includes two playgrounds with modern equipment, a lighted baseball field, two tennis courts, and a basketball court. A central shelter with picnic tables and grills sits beside a small pond stocked for catch-and-release fishing. Mature trees provide shade across open lawns, and the park is bordered by Busse Forest on two sides, creating a buffer from surrounding development. Potomac Park is located within two miles of the Elk Grove Village Public Library, the village aquatic center, and the Metra Milwaukee District West line at the Elk Grove Village station. The park is maintained by the Elk Grove Park District and remains open daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.
