Confirmed from Oak 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.
Relaxed, clean park offering paths for walking and playgrounds for kids (plus a basketball court).

Beautiful park to walk and use your bike, stays clean, but beware to watch your kids because there is a creepy person that is shirtless walking around the park so becareful, but remember, bring lunch! The kids love parks so once they see this one they will stay for HOURSSSS so bring lunch
It's a very quiet park, There is an elementary school adjacent to it. Sometimes I see some children playing baseball ⚾️ pr playing on the playground. Other times I see people jogging around the park. I also see people walking their dogs 🐕. There js a gazebo at the park, where I hang out most of the time.
Nice play area for the kids. Shaded Sitting area located right in front. Lots of trees for shade. Nice bike path for the kids. Restrooms located close to the children's play area. Basketball court.
