Wortham Park, Mundelein, IL

Wortham Park covers 55 acres along the Des Plaines River corridor in Mundelein. It features 2.3 miles of paved and crushed-stone trails that connect to the Des Plaines River Trail, allowing residents to bike or walk south to Independence Grove Forest Preserve or north toward Lake County’s regional network. Two large parking lots and restrooms at the main entrance off Route 83 make daily access convenient. The park includes two youth baseball fields, a lighted soccer field, six lighted tennis courts, a playground with separate areas for ages 2–5 and 5–12, and two picnic shelters with grills and electric outlets. A 12-acre wetland area with an observation deck supports seasonal bird-watching, while mature oak and hickory stands provide shade along the trails. The park is three miles from the Metra Milwaukee District North station and less than two miles from IL Route 60 retail corridors, situating residents near both outdoor recreation and daily errands.
