Water Works Park spans 17 acres in Maywood and includes a 1.5-mile paved loop trail used by residents for walking, jogging, and cycling. The park features a 9-hole disc golf course, lighted tennis courts, two playgrounds, and a fishing pond stocked by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. Picnic shelters with grills and restrooms are available for reservation through the Maywood Park District. Mature trees line the trail and provide shade over open lawns used for informal sports. The park sits adjacent to the Des Plaines River Trail, allowing users to extend routes north toward the Schiller Woods Forest Preserve or south toward the Centennial Trail. Public transit access is provided by a Pace bus stop on the park’s east boundary, and the Illinois Prairie Path runs within two blocks, linking cyclists to downtown Maywood and neighboring municipalities.
