Woodborough Park, Homewood, IL

Woodborough Park in Homewood covers 28 acres of rolling terrain that includes two baseball diamonds, six lighted tennis courts, a playground with adaptive equipment, and an open-air pavilion available for reservations. The park’s central feature is a 1.2-mile paved loop trail that connects to the Old Plank Road Trail, allowing residents to travel on foot or by bicycle to Flossmoor, Olympia Fields, and Chicago Heights without crossing major roadways. Two small ponds support catch-and-release fishing, and adjacent wetlands attract waterfowl visible from the observation deck. Picnic tables, grills, and restrooms are grouped near the parking lot on Riegel Road, while a second entrance on Ashland Avenue provides direct access to the northern fields. The park lies within a half-mile of the Homewood Public Library, three grocery stores, and the Metra Electric Line station, placing daily errands and downtown Chicago within a short trip for residents who prefer to leave their cars at home.
