Thelen Park, Spring Grove, IL

Thelen Park in Spring Grove, Illinois, spans 160 acres of open space with a mix of woodlands, restored prairies, and wetland areas. A 1.6-mile paved loop trail runs through the park, connecting to the 26-mile Old Plank Road Trail and providing direct access for walking, jogging, and cycling. Visitors can fish at the 12-acre pond, which is stocked by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, or launch non-motorized boats from the carry-in access point. Two playgrounds and a large picnic shelter with restrooms serve families, while the open fields are used for informal sports. The park’s location, adjacent to the Village Hall and one mile from the Metra Union Pacific Northwest Line station, places residents within a short walk or bike ride of municipal services and commuter rail.
