Rolling Meadows Park, Lemont, IL

Rolling Meadows Park sits at the center of Lemont’s south side, providing residents with 22 acres of open space and direct access to the Centennial Trail. The park features a 1.8-mile paved loop that connects to the 61-mile trail network running along the Illinois & Michigan Canal, allowing cyclists and runners to travel to downtown Lemont or the neighboring Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve without crossing major roads. Two lighted ball fields, four tennis courts, and a playground with rubberized surfacing serve organized leagues and families. A fishing pond stocked annually by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources attracts local anglers, while adjacent picnic shelters with electrical hookups accommodate neighborhood gatherings. The park’s position next to Lemont High School and the Metra station on the Heritage Corridor line places it within a five-minute walk of both secondary education and weekday commuter service to Chicago, reducing daily car trips for households with teenagers or downtown workers.
