Wildflower Park, New Lenox, IL

Wildflower Park spans 32 acres in central New Lenox and offers residents a network of paved walking paths, open athletic fields, and a modern playground with rubber surfacing. The park includes three lighted baseball diamonds used by local youth leagues, two tennis courts, and a sand volleyball area. A 1.8-mile paved trail connects to the Old Plank Road Trail, giving runners and cyclists access to a 22-mile corridor that extends from Joliet to University Park. The park also features a fishing pond stocked annually by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and a shelter house with picnic tables and grills that can be reserved through the New Lenox Park District. Mature trees line the perimeter, providing shade for spectators at the fields and a buffer from adjacent residential streets. Restrooms and drinking fountains are located near the main parking lot, which holds approximately 120 vehicles. The park sits less than one mile from the New Lenox Metra station and within two miles of the I-355 interchange, placing downtown Chicago roughly 45 minutes away by train.
