Ridge Park Wetlands Park spans 35 acres in Chicago’s Beverly neighborhood, offering residents direct access to nature within city limits. The park features a 0.75-mile paved loop trail that circles a restored wetland area, providing flat, accessible terrain suitable for walking, jogging, and cycling. Boardwalks extend over the water, allowing close observation of native plants and wildlife such as herons, turtles, and migratory birds. Picnic tables and open lawns near 96th Street and Longwood Drive accommodate small gatherings, while a playground at the south end serves families with young children. The park connects to the Ridge Park Fieldhouse, which houses restrooms, a gymnasium, and scheduled fitness classes. Street parking is available along Longwood Drive, and the site lies three blocks from the 95th Street Metra station, facilitating commutes to downtown Chicago. Seasonal programs run by the Chicago Park District include guided nature walks and youth sports leagues that utilize the adjacent athletic fields.
