Tallmadge Park, Evanston, IL

Tallmadge Park spans 10 acres in Evanston’s northwest corner and provides direct access to the city’s shoreline trail system. A paved multi-use path runs the length of the park and connects to the Green Bay Trail, allowing residents to walk or cycle south to downtown Evanston or north into Wilmette without crossing major streets. The park’s eastern edge meets the lakefront, where a small beach and fishing pier are open during warm months. Two lighted tennis courts, a basketball court, and a fenced playground with updated equipment serve daily use, while mature oak and maple trees supply shade over picnic tables and open lawn areas. Restrooms and drinking fountains are located near the parking lot, and the park is a scheduled stop on the Evanston Connect bus route, offering quick links to the Metra Union Pacific North line and several grocery stores along Dempster Street.
