    A beautiful park with a playground and a really nice paved path around the lake to walk on. It is definitely one of the most enjoyable and low impact parks in the area. It's a great place to get your steps in. There are plenty of places to sit down too if you need a break. There is street parking, and I didn't see a parking lot.

    Relaxation and a nice walking path around the lake make for a nice getaway after a day at work or for a quick jog in the morning.

    Nice park in Glen Ellyn the first time I've gone there and I was impressed has lots of nice walking area and wildlife

    Even the all gender toilet gets a 5 star rating, it was so clean and well maintained with running water, toilet paper and a working hand dryer. By far the best public toilet that I have used in Illinois areas and I am a bit like Mr Monk when it comes to public toilet. The park is good but the residents could be a bit more caring about cleaning up after their pets. The floating islands were gone by the time we visited but seeing the pictures of these are wonderful. We hope to see them back in spring and in blossoms. The special pipes to get the salt from the roads during winter de-icing process is great and looking forward to seeing the frozen lake in winter.

    Really beautiful park with multiple functions. Here are just some: 1. Great walking trail around the entire park. This is now completely paved. It is maybe 3/4 of a mile max. 2. Tennis courts are available with a yearly pass. 3. Fantastic kids play area, mostly geared toward younger kids and infants. 4. The boat house is fantastic. It is used as a warming house for ice skating during the winter and all year round for other events. It also has a great outdoor section. 5. Many of the trees are labeled for the arbor enthusiasts. 6. The end of the lake is flanked by the Glenbard West high school football field, Duchon Field, and is an amazing vista for football games. All around, is it a great treasure of Glen Ellyn. Please consider liking this review if helpful.

    Beautiful park! Nice renovations being done to water front. Lovely at festival, nicely spaced tents, beautiful music being played by a band. Great way to spend a weekend. And who knew mastodon was found near Lake Ellyn in the 1800's!

    Was there for the art fair to this beautiful park. The paths are well kept and the grounds are near even with tons of people around. Picnic areas are nicely shaded.

    Very nice park! We were here for the Flotilla Fest early in the month and it was a fun little fest for the kids.

  • 5/5 Vivian R. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful park and trail area in a nice quiet area. Took the dogs there for a nice walk around the lake. Nice and clean. Plenty of benches around and garbage cans! Usure if there are Bathrooms. It was really nice to venture off to downtown Glen Ellyn. It's a beautiful city. One of my favorite parts about walking the dogs thru the trail was looking at all the beautiful houses.

    This is the hidden gem of Glen Ellyn. A beautiful park with a twisting and turning walking path around a beautiful and well maintained pond teaming with wildlife. One of my new favorite places to stop and " smell of roses " 🌹

    What an atmosphere that place has! As soon as you enter, you feel this tranquilizing vibe - everyone you pass feels it too. People look happy and at peace, they say hello as they pass, they are polite. All age groups mingling beautifully - it has a certain life force of another time when life was simple and all it took to make people happy was an after-dinner walk and a stroll through the neighborhood. Life feels good there, it's alive and interactive - no heads buried in their phones. People look at you and smile as you pass. They walk, they run, the walk their dogs or wheel their baby buggies, the water flows, the duck swim, the trees sway, the birds swak, kids fishing off the boathouse, and the voices of laughter always in the background. It's pure life! It's a magical place where you're alive in the moment, alive in the heart and not buried in headspace. It's Glen Ellyn's crown jewel. Sometimes people come to visit me from downtown. I take them there for a walk. They have the same reaction. The place casts a spell. It's magical! Love, love, love!! It must be the collective happiness of all who enter. I think that's what we all pick up on - nature, people all living in harmony. I've tried to put it into words, but words don't measure up. You just have to experience it and you will know. Glen Ellyn's natural tranquilizer. Have you had to walk today?? Take time for life!!

    Shady and great place for the kids to play... be wary walking around the lake. Some older couple was fully clothed rolling aound grinding on eachother after a picnic today.

  • 5/5 Bryan D. 11 months ago on Google
    Great playground, plenty of shaded walking, bathrooms, water fountain (human & dog), and a lake with easy-to-catch blue gill. I cannot imagine a better park.

  • 5/5 David S. 1 year ago on Google
    Fishing. Mostly tiny Bluegills but lots of gem with happy kids. Lots of dog walkers. Interesting dogs.

    Although the name should be "Pond Ellyn" given the modest size, I visit often to find peace and birds. It is well-visited.

    Love walking around the lake!

    When I'm in town, I like to take my grandson to Lake Ellyn Park. He's only 3 but loves the "big kid" slide as well as the swings. He also loves to chase the geese and check out the water.

    The park is amazing! There is a playground over there where kids can play in and a good view of the lake when u sit down in a bench. ( Take u book with u I recommend it ).

    It was a beautiful fall day and normally my wife and I go to Evanston but this destination was much closer and did not disappoint. We'll be coming again soon for another walk around the lake.

    Beautiful Atomospher. I great place to walk around and enjoy the water and the geese also a lot of squirrels. Many people walk there dogs around here. I had a luncheon at the boat house. You can rent it out and host your birthday party or other family event there. Nice scenery to look at while your event is taking place. I think you will enjoy your visit here.

👍 Great park with a bunch of seating areas. Unfortunately this time around the garbages hadn’t been emptied and that attracted a lot of bees. Apart from that it was great!

👍👍 This park in Glen Ellyn looks just like a 2 story rocket ship! With a giant tube slide. There's a full restroom and two big baseball fields and tennis courts and some shelters with picnic tables.

👍 There are nice fields here and a nice turf field. The turf can often be reserved. The incoming folks who have reservations can often be unpleasant with the ownership mentality instead of having a conversation. It seems they need/allowed an extra 30 min prior to setup.
