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.
Basketball courts and skateboard park among the amenities at this family-friendly park, featuring playgrounds and baseball fields.

“Beautiful park with plentiful playground equipment, fields and courts to play ball on, and much more!”
“There are so many different activities for kids of all ages.”
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.
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!
