Confirmed from Mokena Main 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.
Clean park featuring baseball fields, playgrounds, tennis, volleyball and basketball courts.
What runners say about Mokena Main Park
“The trail was beautiful and well maintained.”
“Another beautiful Park in Mokena set up for walking with a lot to see especially once you get back in the woods very well might see a deer or two”
“What drew me in was the SHADE!”
I've driven by this park many times and never even noticed the sign for it, until yesterday! So I went there and although I didn't explore as much as I'd like, I plan to soon. What drew me in was the SHADE!
First ride of the year was a good but tough one. The trail was beautiful and well maintained. Super clean forest preserve. No garbage and no animal stool on the trails. Highly recommended trail to explore for your first time or even if you have experience with riding.
have been bringing the grandkids here, since they were little, they like going from obstacle to obstacle running around enjoying them all, and who doesn't like to play in the sand. Great place for little ones.
Great for mainstream sports but nothing to include anything for wheeled sports. Please consider a skating trail or a bicycle skills course. Terrain park give kids more opportunities besides just mainstream.
Trail conditions & character
“Happy to see that there are porta potties through out the different areas.”
“This park has it, even shaded areas in the parking lot, which again, I've had difficulty finding.”
