St. Bonafice Park, Tinley Park, IL

St. Boniface Park in Tinley Park centers on a large, level athletic field ringed by mature trees that provide shade for spectators and players alike. The park’s two lighted baseball diamonds and two soccer fields host youth leagues and adult rec games most evenings, while the 1.2-mile paved loop trail accommodates joggers and cyclists. Picnic shelters with grills and restrooms sit near the playground, which features modern climbing structures and a splash pad that runs Memorial Day through Labor Day. A fenced dog park with separate areas for small and large breeds lies at the south end, adjacent to ample parking. The park is bordered on the west by the Old Plank Road Trail, allowing residents to connect directly to the regional trail system without crossing major roads. Public restrooms remain open year-round, and the park is patrolled by Tinley Park police during peak hours.
