Vernon Hills Athletic Park, Vernon Hills, IL

Vernon Hills Athletic Park spans more than 100 acres at 700 Lakeview Parkway and serves as a primary outdoor destination for residents of the surrounding neighborhoods. The park features eight lighted baseball and softball diamonds, multiple soccer fields, and a skate park, all accessible via a network of paved trails that connect directly to the Des Plaines River Trail. A 23,000-square-foot indoor recreation center houses a fitness floor, two gymnasiums, and an elevated running track, allowing year-round use regardless of weather. Picnic shelters with grills and restrooms are distributed throughout the grounds, and the park’s retention ponds attract seasonal waterfowl. The park sits less than two miles from the Hawthorn Mall retail corridor and the Metra Milwaukee District North line station, giving residents quick access to shopping, dining, and commuter rail service without leaving Vernon Hills.
