Confirmed from Warren Township 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.

KIDS FAVORITE! My son had a blast at the playground. We have been here many times. It’s offers different play equipments for different age groups. It’s a huge park. It also has a sand pit, dinosaur fossil digging and many walking paths. Come and have a relaxing time.

★★★★★ — Akila , Aug 2024

Great Place to go for a walk or jog with or without kids. There is more than enough space to maintain social distance from others and the park is beautiful. I would recommend to anyone with young children that need to get then out of the house. Good job Gurnee!

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
