Confirmed from Hampe 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.

👟 good for all levels 2 mentions

“Good for bringing young kids and also for all ages.”

Great park set off the main Street enough to feel safe. The park has a few different playgrounds. There is a soccer field and bike path that goes all the way around and joins up with the path on lies rd. There’s a decent skate park for the littles trying to get used to ramps and jumps too.

Beautiful park in Carol Stream, IL. Playgrounds, bike & walking paths, soccer fields, skate park, pavilion. On Lies Road in Carol Stream. Great place to spend time with your family. Lived in Carol Stream at one time & went here with my son. Highly recommended.

★★★★☆ — Peter , Oct 2020

Great place for kids to play. This park has a very nice playing area with slides and swings for tots as well as childern. There are four basketball hoops which are great for basketball practice.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
