Roosevelt Park, Waukegan, IL

Roosevelt Park occupies 15.5 acres at the intersection of 10th Street and North Avenue, giving Waukegan residents direct access to Lake County’s regional trail system. The park features a one-mile paved loop popular with runners and cyclists, plus a separate crushed-stone path that connects to the Greenbelt Forest Preserve. Two lighted baseball diamonds and four tennis courts support organized leagues, while a large playground and shaded picnic grove serve families. An on-site fitness court with pull-up bars and resistance equipment provides free strength training. The park’s northern edge borders the Waukegan Savanna Nature Preserve, where boardwalks cross wetlands that attract migrating birds. A 40-space parking lot and restrooms are available year-round, and the Waukegan Public Library’s bookmobile stops twice weekly. Proximity to Sheridan Road retail corridors and the Metra Union Pacific North Line station at Grand Avenue places shopping, dining, and commuter rail within a 10-minute drive or a short bike ride from the park entrance.
