Warren-Sharpe Playground, Joliet, IL

Warren-Sharpe Playground at 1107 Warren Avenue covers 6.5 acres in Joliet’s historic St. Mary’s neighborhood. The park features two lighted baseball diamonds with bleachers, a full-size basketball court, two tennis courts, and a playground equipped with modern climbing structures and swings. A 0.4-mile asphalt loop path circles the grounds, accommodating joggers and cyclists, while a fenced dog-run area sits in the northeast corner. Mature oak and maple trees provide shade along the perimeter, and a small picnic grove with grills and tables offers space for outdoor meals. The site is two blocks from the Des Plaines River trailhead, giving residents direct access to the 9-mile paved riverwalk that links downtown Joliet to the I&M Canal State Trail. Public restrooms and ample off-street parking are available year-round. Nearby, the park is within walking distance of the Joliet Public Library’s Black Road branch and several neighborhood grocery stores.
