Prairie Grove Park, Buffalo Grove, IL

Prairie Grove Park occupies 40 acres of rolling terrain in Buffalo Grove and serves residents with a network of paved trails that connect to the larger Buffalo Grove Bike Path system. The park features lighted tennis courts, a playground with modern equipment, and a fully accessible baseball field maintained by the Buffalo Grove Park District. A central picnic shelter with restrooms and drinking fountains supports group gatherings, while open grass areas accommodate informal sports and kite flying.
