| Description: |
This 44-acre park has a long interesting history as a destination for Chicagoans as a nature resort and amusement park. Since 1972 this parcel has been a designated Illinois Nature Preserve. The upper portion of the park has a rare grouping of White Cedar trees established in a fen environment. The area is enjoyed by hikers on the trails and picnickers at one of the two permitted picnic shelters. A playground and well maintained baseball field complex are also major attractions to the upper portion of the park. The riverfront property includes a fishing area, nature trails, the Fox River Bike Path and parking for users. |
