👍 Tranquil little park on the lake. Not a huge offering for older children but enough to occupy them for a daytime break, while enjoying local nature and the waterfront

Jones Island Park
Park
👍 Beautiful park with a playground, volleyball court, the lake and a shelter area with some benches. They just seriously need to build a true bathroom area with maybe a water station because to have one portapotty for this park area is just sad, and Grayslake pulls in enough taxes for it.

Lindenhurst Park District

😐 The facilities are very nice. A lot of little kid programs. But went for toddler open gym. Had very few toys and games for a paid program ($3). My 2yo kid got bored in less than an hour. I would recommend Grayslake ($3) or Wauconda's (free) over this one.
