Vernon & Jefferson Park in Glencoe occupies a central location near the village’s business district and the Glencoe Metra station, giving residents direct rail access to downtown Chicago in roughly 35 minutes. The park contains lighted tennis courts, a playground with modern equipment, and open turf fields used for youth soccer and lacrosse. A paved loop path circles the perimeter, connecting to the larger Green Bay Trail that extends north to Highland Park and south toward Wilmette. Mature oak and maple trees provide shade along the trail and around the perimeter benches. Restrooms and drinking fountains are available during park district operating hours. The surrounding residential blocks feature sidewalks on both sides of the street and regular tree maintenance by the village, creating a consistent walking environment. Street parking is permitted on adjacent residential streets for visitors using the courts or playground. The park’s placement between South Avenue and Vernon Avenue also places it within a short walk of the Glencoe Public Library and several local restaurants.
