Confirmed from Reed-Keppler 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.
A little of everything, this 89-acre park offers sports fields, playgrounds & a nature sanctuary.
What runners say about Reed-Keppler Park
“Beautiful park that has been so well cared for and enhanced since all of the storm damage a decade or so ago.”
Awesome Park!! One of, if not the best attraction there is in West Chicago. Cool Water Park, Gym on-site, and nice trails to walk! Love taking my nieces and nephew to the playgrounds they got and Playing a game of Baseball on their Awesome Diamond fields!!!
This is a cute little park. My kids enjoyed playing on the equipment and swings. They have xylophones for the kids to play on. My year old son loved making music. I wish there were more swing, but we still had enough time to enjoy them. There are also little trails to take walks. The kids had fun!
This is an excellent park for anyone. If you have kids, there are two playgrounds by the entrance. There is a nicely kept area to walk, and there's even a dog park on the far side. There is a recreational center with many activities too.
Beautiful community park with fun spaces for children and adults. We were enchanted by the public art here, starting with the Olmec Trails sculpture by artist Yosneidy Espinoza Reza. This is on the southeast side of the park.
