There are also basketball courts, soccer and football fields, baseball fields, a frisbee golf course, and a swimming pool available at Willow Stream Park. I highly recommend Willow Stream Park for a great place to enjoy a walk!

The parking is large and plentiful as well in this park so it can easily accomodate lots of events at the same time. My favorite feature of this park is the disc golf course. It's enormous, well kept, and features a variety of different shots -- without the fear of hitting buildings or roads unlike some of the smaller courses. Definitely worth a visit to enjoy some activities if you live in the area.

I appreciate the beautiful greenery, and although the park is faded and more worn than it was 11 years ago, my daughter and her bestie (4) had an absolute blast here! We spent a solid 3 hours here, bouncing between the spray park, playground, hedge maze and sandpit. The grass is spacious enough for a picnic lunch, and there are also two picnic tables on site. There are bathrooms onsite, including a family restroom which is great for changing. Not the cleanest, but decent for a park. I do wish they'd bring back the bench swings!

My son (almost 2yo) had so, so, so much fun for about 3 hours! He came home absolutely exhausted- a mom's dream for a good nap! It was $4 admission per person, which I found totally cheap! They have plenty of picnic tables to eat, as well as areas to park strollers and lunch bags. There was also lots of seating available if you wanted to sit and watch your toddler play (especially helpful if you're pregnant and need a little break from standing!). The bathrooms were small, but clean. Honestly, all of the essentials were available and it truly made for a great morning!

Seemed to be a bit off. A cute family was trying to have a little lunch on a nearby picnic table. The strange squeaker probably ruined their Sunday afternoon too.

Bring on the heat! And if it gets too hot you'll likely find me and a kiddo or two here. I was…read moreafraid to come here on a hot Saturday thinking I'd lose my 3 year old among the crowds, but surprisingly it wasn't too crowded. My daughter had a blast here. As soon as we pulled out she said "wow...this is watertastic!" Indeed it was "watertastic." We walked right by the big pool, which I was hoping she wouldn't want to go in since a) I didn't want to get in the water myself and b) I don't think it was actually open. Instead she made her way to the playground complete with water squirters, slides, etc. She loved it all with the exception of the bigger tunnel that scared her a bit. Personally I'm anti tunnel slides too since there's likely very dirty inside. Ick. We probably spent the majority of the time in the very shallow wading pool. She had a blast splashing around...and I loved watching from the side of the pool (with my feet in the water). The only issue was that she loved the slide in the wading pool too much and after sliding down it 85 times her tush was a bit sore later that day (from the landing pad). It's truly a perfect place to bring toddlers and I can't wait to bring my 1 1/2 yr old along with next time. And the way it's setup I think I may actually be able to manage 2 kids on my own here, which I can't say of most places outside of my basement. "Watertastic!"

For a little background information, this skate park is one of few poured concrete skate facilities in the state that are open to the public. The Vernon Hills skatepark is another one I've been to. This park is 11,000SF with one bowl, a vert quarter pipe, ledges, and rails. There's a hangout area that *had* benches, but the benches were most likely taken away to help avoid gathering and encourage social distancing. There are currently no benches or designated places to sit. There is no shade, so wear your sunscreen! In case you didn't already know from my other skate park reviews, I'm a mom of two boys who take their scooter riding very seriously. I've been to my fair share of skate parks, and Jewett has now been added to our rotation. However, the boys don't go here as much as I had hoped, because it gets pretty crowded.
