Reba Park, Evanston, IL

Reba Park occupies 5.7 acres in Evanston’s northwest residential area, bounded by Reba Place, Dewey Avenue, and Lincoln Street. The park includes a lighted baseball diamond with bleachers, a children’s playground with separate toddler and older-child areas, and two full-size basketball courts. A paved 0.6-mile perimeter path circles the grounds and connects to the city’s 2.2-mile North Shore Channel Trail, which runs directly east of the park. Mature oak and maple trees line the edges, providing shade over picnic tables and open turf fields used for pick-up soccer. Restrooms and drinking fountains sit near the parking lot, which holds approximately thirty vehicles. The park is three blocks north of Central Street’s retail corridor, one block from the Central Street Metra station, and within a five-minute walk of Lincolnwood Elementary School, giving residents direct access to daily errands, commuter rail, and nearby schools without needing a car.
