It was a pretty hot day, but one of the nicest things is that the park is primarily in the shade. There are two main playgrounds right next to each other. There is also a baseball field, soccer field, dog park, picnic table/pavilion area, and more! The entire park is really quite large. We were just at the two parks which were perfect for the kids (ages 1.5 and 4).

They have a few really nice large playground area as well for the kids to play and plenty of room in general for running around or setting up your own badminton, bags, Frisbee or other outdoor games. Some big trees to provide shade if preferred and restroom facility there as well. This park is actually part of a large complex with a variety of options/facilities: - 3 playgrounds (one is a "musical" playground) - 6 baseball/softball fields - basketball court - skate park - concession stand (I'm not sure on their hours, though) - Turtle Splash Water Park - Wiggly Field & SouthPaw Dog Parks - 25-acre Dyer Nature Sanctuary and trail -outdoor performance venue/bandshell -3 pavilions/shelters available for rental May - September

The swing set area even has a couple larger chair-style swings for kids that may need a more structured chair for various reasons. There is a paved path winding through the park (perhaps 1/4 of a mile) along with a small pond and a little bridge. There are plenty of trees for shade, a few picnic tables and good amount of grassy open space for playing frisbee, tag, etc. The parking lot is paved with special drainage pavers to prevent/reduce flooding as well so the parking lot has stayed pretty nice without water damage.

An overlooked park is worth a look. DuPage River Park is one of the many parks in Naperville. It…read moreonly takes a few minutes to get to from Whalon Lake and is connected by trails. Busy roads make it kind of noisy but that's typical of many parks around here. There's also athletic facilities on the other side of Washington Street from the main part. Good place to go on a bicycle. It looks like a pretty nondescript park, as far as parks around here. The park is at the intersection of Royce and Washington. It has a few trails connecting to other parks around here. This is also close to Whalon Lake. It has some wide open grassy areas. There's trees but not a lot. Across the street are athletic fields. This is also the location of parking. Business picks up when there's a youth sports league. There's baseball, soccer, and more. Busy roads are the bad thing about it. It also only has parking on the side with the athletic facilities so it means you have to cross the street to get to the main part. Trails connect it to Whalon Lake and other parks, great for bicycling and stuff.

Earlier this year I had decided to bring my nephew to the playground here to play for a little while before celebrating the reopening of Banana Split for the season. Clearly the place has changed since I was a kid, with the playground being fairly new, but it stil-- in many ways--remains the same; it's small, very much a neighborhood type of park, not a city-wide mecca like Phillips Park, and very basic, with only a small playground, a few courts for basketball and tennis, and a nice expanse of open green lawn for running around or sitting in the sun. Again, it's not really like Phillips Park, which attracts people from all around Aurora and has a large property with many features, and is even smaller than the little play areas around Waubonsie Lake; and unlike Waubonsie Lake, there isn't a path for running, jogging, walking, or riding. However, it is perfect for someone who is near to it and is looking for a small, safe area for a little one to play in. I've been here four or five times this year since the spring with my nephew(s), and it's actually become one of my favorite little spots to take my nephew, fulfilling EXACTLY what I'm looking for. A small park with a small playground where my nephew has plenty of space to play and I only have a small area that I need to monitor. Parking is pretty easy, if not a little confusing at first; if you're coming off of Sheffer Road then turn left onto Sheridan and you'll find the little access road to the parking; if you're coming from Church Street then merge onto Sheridan, and if you're coming from Forest Street then it'll be right in front of you when you get to Sheridan. I can also say that the property is well maintained and very out-in-the-open so it feels very open and safe. I also have to say that having Banana Split right across the street is a pretty great selling point and makes the park more attractive. So if you're close by and need a great place for your little ones to run around and play, give this place a try, you may be pleasantly surprised by how much you like it; and if you don't enjoy your experience, you'll at least be able to salvage what's left of your excursion with a nice cold treat from across the street.

I'm pretty sure they also have movies in the park there as well. My son and I saw Toy Story years ago.

Please be careful with your kiddos! There were tables and a shaded pavilion area as well.

This park is gorgeously maintained and has quaint little gardens that brighten up the place when you see butterflies flying about. The kid's park looks perfect for about ages 4-10.

You are come right up the Fox River and there is a rocky area where kayaks were constantly coming and going. I brought the kids over there to find seashells and skip rocks. There were a lot of people walking their dogs - some dogs were going for a swim! There are a lot of mature trees so there is plenty of shade. I will try to come to this park more often!
