Twiggs Park, Evanston, IL

Twiggs Park covers 2.3 acres in southwest Evanston and features a fenced playground with updated climbing structures, swings, and slides. The park includes two full-size basketball courts with lights for evening play and a small multipurpose field used for soccer and informal sports. A 0.3-mile perimeter path circles the park and connects to the city’s sidewalk network, providing a direct link to the Evanston lakefront path two blocks east. Mature maple and oak trees supply shade over the picnic tables and benches that line the east side of the grounds. Public restrooms and a drinking fountain are located next to the playground. The park sits within a short walk of Central Street’s retail corridor, Metra’s Union Pacific North line, and several Evanston public schools, giving residents convenient access to daily errands, commuting options, and education without relying on a car.
