Confirmed from Berens Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Spacious grounds offering ball fields, batting cages, tennis courts, a miniature golf course & more.

Berens Park in Elmhurst, Illinois is a wonderful family park. I was there for my nephew's baseball tournament. There are a number of softball, baseball, and soccer fields. There are running trails, batting cages, splash pad, mini-golf, and play area.
Located right off I-290 in northern Elmhurst, this park has tons of things to do. Batting cages Mini golf Splash pad Baseball and softball fields Tennis courts And a steep hill to climb, walk, or sled. The staff is knowledgeable and the bathrooms are quite clean for a busy complex.
