Confirmed from Legacy 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.
Picnic spot and hockey rink, plus a splash pad and trails for workouts.
What runners say about Legacy Park
“Beautiful park, very clean, and we'll maintained.”
We attended an Ultimate Frisbee Tournament was held at Legacy Park this weekend, using six of the fields. The park was easy to find, only 5 mins from the Interstate exit and visible when driving South on I-57 from Chicago.
Blaizze never gets tired of coming to this park. There's so much for kids to play with, a very nice area just to walk, run or jog . . . they even have a water fountain that is at a convenient level for adults, children & pets!!! We can't wait to see what winter events take place here!
This park has everything; trail with workout areas, tennis court, blade rink, playground, splash pad, soccer field, baseball diamond. My child and I visit all the time. They park is kept in decent shape, I think certain areas could be cleaner but eyes can't be everywhere.
Great place for large events! Lots of space. Splash pad, playground, movie amphitheater, walking trail and fitness course, disc golf, natural scenery and wetlands wildlife, hockey and more.
