Sandalwood Park, Frankfort, IL

Sandalwood Park in Frankfort, Illinois, occupies 50 acres between 80th Avenue and Harlem Avenue, featuring two lighted baseball diamonds, a large playground with climbing structures, and a full-size soccer field. A 1.2-mile paved loop trail circles the perimeter, connecting to the Old Plank Road Trail for extended walks or bike rides. Open turf areas and mature oak and hickory trees provide shade, while a small pond near the southern entrance supports seasonal wildlife viewing. Restrooms, drinking fountains, and a picnic shelter with grills are located near the main parking lot. The park sits less than two miles from Frankfort Square’s retail corridor and the Metra Rock Island District line, giving residents quick access to downtown Chicago and nearby grocery stores. Evening lighting on the ball fields extends usable hours for organized leagues, and the surrounding residential streets have sidewalks that link directly to the park entrance, making it convenient for daily exercise or after-school activities.
