William Friedrich Memorial Park, Naperville, IL

William Friedrich Memorial Park spans 40 acres along the DuPage River, offering residents direct access to paved trails that connect to Naperville’s 150-mile Riverwalk network. The park includes three lighted tennis courts, four baseball diamonds, two playgrounds with modern safety surfacing, and a 14,000-square-foot skate park. A 2.3-mile loop path circles the perimeter, passing restored prairie and a 3-acre retention pond that draws waterfowl. Picnic shelters with electrical service and restrooms sit near the main parking lot, and an adjacent dog park provides separate areas for small and large breeds. The park is two blocks from downtown Naperville’s retail corridor and one mile from the Metra station, allowing residents to walk or bike to shops, restaurants, and commuter trains. Regular maintenance by the Naperville Park District keeps athletic fields irrigated and turf reseeded each spring.
