Confirmed from Freedom 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.
What runners say about Freedom Park
Nice park in New Lenox with a covered picnic area, two play areas for kids, a paved walking path, and nice basketball courts. There's also lots of parking and green grassy spaces to throw a ball around.
It is a nice park that pretty much has it all! There is a pavilion with picnic tables, a basketball court, a small path around a pond & playgrounds for both small kids & one for bigger kids!
Beautiful park with lots of equipment, a nice open field, and a a great pond for fishing or walking around.

The practical stuff
- AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work

- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
