Confirmed from Knolls 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.
Lakeside recreation area featuring exercise equipment, a playground and walking paths.
What runners say about Knolls Park
“Such a beautiful little park with plenty of wildlife to observe.”
“My son loved it there, nice quiet n friendly ppl also…”
Beautiful park. Lots of parking. Clean and tidy. Great for a walk. Nice calm neighborhood. Pond has quite a few fishes in it. Caught a few bluegill and Catfishes. Ample benches. Good for picnic and Taking the kids. Definitely recommended to stop.
This is a great fishing pond!! Note that you need a special York Center fishing license in addition to an Illinois state license WITH the inland trout stamp. We didnt see any trout, but there are MANY small bluegills, large mouth bass, and catfish.
I used to come here with my parents as a kid and I was pleasantly surprised at the changes that have been made since the 90s. I love the addition of the workout equipment and new path next to the hill. This is a great place to bring children.
Another wonderful walk in a new park with Snickers and Newton. I have driven past the area where this park is located numerous times and never knew it was here. Not a sports park, but plenty of playground equipment, nice walking paths, a hill for sledding (if there is snow), a pond and a picnic area.
