Burr Ridge has some parks, including this small one in a residential area. It supposedly is open to…read morethe public but it feels exclusive to the houses around it. Lake Carriage Way Park is in a subdivision. Good quiet atmosphere in spite of not much to do. The main thing is a big pond. Coming here is a little confusing. It's on a residential street of the same name so it's pretty easy to find it. The trouble about it though is what to do when you're here and trying to get into this. It's like, where do you park? There's no parking spaces. It's that which makes it seem like it's only for the residents around here. There's only a street. Apparently you can park on it. The park itself is small but nice. It has a big pond that takes up the majority of space that's easy to walk around. There's also a playground so kid can have fun. Have fun for a few minutes at most then go somewhere else. It doesn't have bathrooms or any amenities like that so it's not intended as somewhere you go for long. The only parking option is on the street, but look out for Karen residents who think they own this.

Lake Carriage Way Park is a tiny Pleasant Dale (Burr Ridge) Park District park located in the…read moreCarriage Way subdivision, near 55 and County Line. Though it is in the subdivision it is of course open to the public and is frequented by those looking to fish or just relax. There is no actual parking lot but you can park on the side streets of the subdivision, which is very quiet and never crowded. The main feature of the park is the large central lake with fountains. Throughout the summer there are many birds present (mainly ducks and geese) and there are various benches set up all along the pond for viewing. Many come to fish in the pond, so it is stocked. There is a large gazebo with the best view of the park. To the right of the gazebo is a small playground where children from the subdivision often play. There is a paved trail all along the pond, which meanders back into the woods at the northern most portion of the pond. This trail continues back into the subdivision a little way. Though it offers few amenities, it is a wonderful place to walk if you are in the area. It is very tiny and you can walk the duration of the pond in about 5 minutes. The park is dog and child friendly. Unless you're looking to fish, I'm not sure that it is someplace that you'd drive to specifically to spend time at, but if you're looking for a quiet location to go on a lunch break and work in the area, it is a great place to check out!

A great park with lots of things to do. Plenty of sports to play and a trail to walk.read more

There's lots of parking and it doesn't seem like too busy a park (but not creepy or deserted--a welcome change from the likes of Swallow Cliff, for example). There are little lakes around of course, but it's not right on a lake lie some of the other parks--I'd say that's an upside and a downside in that it lacks the beauty of a lake, but probably lacks the mosquitoes, too. Out in the woods at Cherry Hill is a different story--out in the trees that place is literally swarming with mosquitoes, so don't forget your bugspray.

I have to say this. This is a beautiful park! The park got renovated a few years ago. The kids that…read moreI see at the park enjoy this beautiful park. The staff are very nice, and they are very friendly. You can do birthday parties here, but it will be in the gym. The gym is very clean. There is a roof going down on half of the gym, but it's just for decoration! The small basketball court is good for a small game. The hoop looks old-school. In the playground, the cool "exercise" object is used for the kids. There are some kinds of those to help the legs and arms move! There is also climbing equipment and slides. It looks perfect for the kids! I will be back here soon!

Great park and safe , the people that work there are so nice and they have lots of things to doread more

Perfect for dogs and might I add, you do see many families here vs just hanging out and for the…read moremost part, it is a kind place to visit. I come here quite often when its time to walk my 6 dogs, and I do have to admit that a doggie park in the area would be better. Although I don't mind this park in the least since it is very dog friendly and the families that do come here are kind to my pets and very seldom ask to pet them. Since I think people should not just assume your pups are friendly (although mine are of course) I still don't agree with people petting for the sake of petting. The park is very clean and I do see that the staff associated with the park try their best to keep it clean. I do at times get disappointed when there is litter strew all over the place, but this is a family park and for the most part is always full of families and others so of course a little litter is expected. The park is pretty spacious so there is something happening all over. Kids playing, the field house, ball games, football games. Something of everyone of course. On the weekends it can be a bit hectic, since this is the time that everyone seems to be out, but still, it is a good atmosphere and the people who come to this park are friendly for the most part.

I remember the last time I was here, the previous play area was very old and broken down. Am very happy that the city replaced it. I will definitely be back to bring my boys here throughout the summer.
