Woodland Park, Hawthorn Woods, IL

Woodland Park in Hawthorn Woods offers 18 acres of public land with a 1.3-mile paved trail that connects to the village’s larger network of paths. The park includes a playground, picnic shelters, restrooms, and open fields used for youth sports. A fishing pond is stocked annually by the Lake County Forest Preserve District, and visitors share the shoreline with local waterfowl. Mature oak and hickory trees line the perimeter, providing shade along the walking route and seasonal color. The park sits less than two miles from the Hawthorn Woods Country Club golf course and is a short drive to both Route 12 and Route 22, giving residents direct access to grocery stores, restaurants, and Metra stations in nearby Barrington and Palatine. Street parking and a small lot make entry straightforward for daily exercise or weekend outings.
