Walona Park, New Lenox, IL

Walona Park in New Lenox spans 47 acres and provides residents with direct access to both active and passive recreation. A 1.5-mile paved loop trail circles the park, connecting to the Hickory Creek Trail system for longer walks or bike rides. The park includes two lighted baseball fields, four tennis courts, a playground with modern equipment, and two picnic shelters with electrical outlets. A 12-acre detention pond supports fishing and attracts waterfowl, while surrounding prairie restoration areas add seasonal color and wildlife viewing opportunities. The park sits less than two miles from the New Lenox Metra station and U.S. Route 30, placing shopping, schools, and medical services within a short drive. Evening lighting on athletic fields extends use into fall and winter, and the open layout allows unobstructed views of sunsets across the pond and restored prairie.
