Confirmed from Mallinckrodt 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 Mallinckrodt Park
“Beautiful peaceful space, created to enjoying”
“Terrific inner-suburban park located among typically well-maintained homes in a quiet Wilmette/Kenilworth neighborhood.”
My dog Cooper and I walk these grounds everyday The landscaping is fantastic, the Park District crew keeps the grounds very well manicured. So peaceful to just sit and enjoy the flowers.
It's a park with grass and trees. Well maintained and decent place to walk, jog, look at stuff. It has a gazebo. No playground, but kids can run and chase rabbits.
Terrific inner-suburban park located among typically well-maintained homes in a quiet Wilmette/Kenilworth neighborhood. Nicely laid out and maintained. The planners managed to keep most of the gorgeous trees but created scattered nice open spots & green little alcoves in, among and alongside the winding pathways,…
Beautiful neighborhood park. Very good lawn maintenance and landscaping. Good place for kids to explore and run. No playground though.
