Serenity Park, Waukegan, IL

Serenity Park sits on 68 acres in Waukegan’s northwest corner and features a 1.2-mile paved loop trail that circles a 12-acre stocked fishing lake. Two playgrounds, one with accessible equipment, sit near the south entrance, and a reservable shelter with restrooms and picnic tables serves group gatherings. A fenced dog park with separate small- and large-breed areas is located at the west edge, and a basketball court and two sand-volleyball courts lie adjacent to the parking lot. The park’s flat terrain and wide paths accommodate strollers and mobility devices, while native prairie plantings and mature oak stands provide seasonal color and habitat for birds. Direct access from the Robert McClory Bike Path connects riders to the 20-mile trail system that extends south into Highland Park. The park is three blocks north of Washington Street retail corridors and one mile west of Waukegan Harbor and its Metra station.
