Wlodarski Park, Orland Park, IL

Wlodarski Park covers 40 acres in Orland Park and serves as a central recreation area for nearby residential neighborhoods. Its 0.8-mile paved loop trail accommodates walking, jogging, and cycling, while separate open fields support soccer, baseball, and informal play. A 1-acre fishing pond is stocked seasonally by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, and an adjacent playground includes modern equipment designed for ages two to twelve. Picnic shelters and permanent restrooms are available year-round. The park’s northern boundary borders the Old Orland Heritage Trail, offering an additional 1.5 miles of connected path leading to the Orland Park Sportsplex. Mature oak and maple trees provide shade along the perimeter, and the flat topography offers unobstructed sight lines, which many residents cite as a safety advantage for supervising children. The park’s location, less than one mile from U.S. Route 45, places grocery stores, restaurants, and the Orland Square Mall within a five-minute drive, combining on-site recreation with everyday convenience.
