Confirmed from Ravinia 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 a playground for all ages, basketball courts, slides, jungle gyms and picnic tables.
What runners say about Ravinia Park
“It was very clean and there was plenty of parking.”
“The several pieces of jungle gym equipment make this park one that children of all ages can enjoy!”
Nice little park. My granddaughter enjoyed playing here. We could only stay about 30 minutes as we had to go shopping. Would definitely go with the family to this park again. You can also jog and walk your dog
An open park with an average playground, basketball hoop, and shelter. There is also a paved loop for walking and connections to a few gravel trails the go through the woods
Very beautiful park! with a half mile trail perfect for our kids to have a little exercise before going into the playground 😉
My son and daughter love this park, me and my Honey like walking through it watching our kids play.
Trail conditions & character
“There's a porta potty on the premises I haven't used so I can't attest to its cleanliness, but it's nice to know there's a bathroom available if my kids need it.”
“There is playground, large open area and a small parking lot.”
“I take my dog out here frequently to throw ball for him.”
“Honestly, I wish there were water fountains or a better bathroom, but it's more than good enough.”
