Confirmed from Slepicka Homestead 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 park with a community garden, walking path and picnic tables.
What runners say about Slepicka Homestead Park
Beautiful little park that was a family farm years ago. Nice walking trail, picnic area in a wildflower setting with the original silo and family history signs.
I'm pet sitting, so I looked up this park as a place to dog walk in the area. This is a nice park, the path is paved, but a couple of spots have started to look bad. The park was clean, and along the walking bath you will see spots set up to "workout". The park was originally the homestead farm of the Slepicka family.
Small little getaway park. This place is quiet and rarely used. Would love to have Carol Stream remove the corn hole game and replace it with a little park for the kids...Bike and walking path as well as a huge gazebo. It is walking distance to another small park...
A little gem of a park. The short paved trail around it connects to Lies Road and to a playground in the south. The wooded portion looks great in the snow and in summer. The garden plots and silo tower are a great way to bring community together and celebrate the history of the village.
