Confirmed from Boucher Prairie 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.
Park with a playground, half-size basketball court, splash pad, and small rink suitable for soccer and hockey.

Cute park! Very large slides. Free water splash area (with concrete floors). Bathrooms open during daylight hours. Covered picnic area with some benches. Hockey rink available. One half basketball court. Large walking path.
Great splash pad and water pressure. Love this park, nice park for the family with a trail, swings, slides and a climbing gym. Great for my 3 year old and 1 year old. Not far from Plainfield, looking forward to this park being a regular for our family!
