Walk towards the upper hill where you'll find a fun bridge to cross the water and climb stairs to the top. There's a great BBQ fun for the fam or hanging with friends. This park is also great for hiking. There's a great trail through the woods. Beautiful flowers with a large field and unique trees to walk or bike through. Overall, clean and fun park for a nature escape or game of disc golf. Last note, dogs are welcome as lone as they're on a leash. So great outdoor escape for all people and their furry friend!

Waubonsie Lake Park is located in more of a residential area but it gets outsiders. A few amenities. There's a playground and a shelter. Chill place for the most part with people just walking around. It's basically just a lake with a trail around it. There's a little bit of parkland. All of this is surrounded by houses. It seems most people here are from around it. A few things for families. There's a small playground along with pretend dinosaur bones to climb on. There's also modern playground equipment like slides and swings. Also there's a shelter by the lake. This is good for picnics. Good park for exercising or playing around. It's located on Kautz Road. This is good for children, adults working out, or whoever.

The DuPage River Trail runs from Royce Road & Washington to Burr Oak Park along the west branch of…read morethe DuPage River. This flat trail is well maintained and used by bikers, runners, walkers and dog walkers. At a distance of approximately 7 miles in one direction, it is my favorite route to run near my house. The trail connects a few parks. You can stop and eat at picnic tables or use the new canoe launch to paddle down the river. This trail now runs all the way to Waldon Lake in Bolingbrook. This is a great trail - thanks to all those who helped make it happen

Awesome trail. Flat with a mix of shade & sun, paved, and wide enough to accommodate the runners,…read morewalkers, bikers, strollers and dogs that frequent it. I used to always hop on near Bailey and Washington and go south toward Ring Road, but the newer arm of the trail going north under 75th and to downtown Naperville is also great. I'm not sure if it's still considered part of the DuPage River Trail when you cross Washington at Ring Road and go back through Knoch Knolls Park, but either way, it's a convenient connecting trail that traces all the way back to Whalon Lake and makes for a compelling bike ride/long run route. I take advantage of this trail as much as I can when I'm back visiting in Napes.

It has been one year after receiving a bill for $650.00 for what I was told was a usage of 40,000…read moregallons in a one week time span due to "probably filling up my swimming pool" (I did not have one) or a "leaking toilet" (my toilets are newish). Lived here since 2013 and the amount owed has always ranged in the usual 135.00 per month, which is insane for one person who is rarely home and is frugal with water usage. They later came to my home (only because I disputed the amount) to take the meter that they placed in my home within the previous year or two, to have it tested. They later informed me that the water meter was perfectly fine and that I owed them the full amount. I have therefore been unwillingly making payments for a year. Now, after paying off that bill, I have received phone calls and a notice on my door threatening that my water service will be shut off if I don't call them to have them come to replace my meter. Today I received a letter stating " your water meter is either no longer registering- is broken, aged or has over 1,000,000 gallons usage and needs to be replaced". Coincidence!?!

The prairie path is *huge* so I chose to review a particular part of it. I am a runner so I will…read morepreface this with the fact that this review is catered towards the active group. I am reviewing the Elgin branch from Geneva Rd. And County Farm to Smith Rd. The pluses for runners/cyclists: + long stretches-- I hate waiting to cross roads, drivers don't have the courtesy they used to. The first crossing is 1.9 miles in, the next is a residential road (not busy) and the one that follows is the same. I did a 5 mile out run and didn't have to stop. + the scenery-- the scenery is beautiful. The first 2 miles is mostly wooded ( it backs to Klien Creek Farm and a forest preserve ). The next stretch is almost all woods as well with some breaks when you cross under North Ave. The minuses: - no port-o-potties, water fountains or other amenities. Pack t/p and wear a water belt if you are going to be out long. - pretty secluded- even though there are a lot of homes around, I was nervous running by myself (even though I carry pepper spray). I would suggest it for running clubs and group runs, and only Day time running. This is my go-to route for long runs. Beautiful and no distractions.

That and the clarity can give you some really pretty views inside the lake. Not the best for fishing which is kinda a bummer. Roomer has it there's some good walleye here though.

They were on time but their manager/supervisor was bringing them a key. Unfortunately for us, their manager didn't arrive until 1:45 almost 2 hours after our scheduled appointment time. The 2 workers were very apologetic with us responding it's not their fault. We would like to say to the management, do better!! How dare you have people wait for your slow behinds!! it was extremely hot and very inconveniencing to your patrons. And to make matters worse we didn't even get offered a discount for our inconvenience!! If offered a discount it would have at Least showed you had some professionalism but alas you didn't. Had you shown just an ounce of professionalism I would have possibly considered giving you another try. I wouldn't recommend Whalon Lake Kayak rental to my dog.

This is a nice contrast to school parks which lack variety. The equipment was in good condition, although it could use some fresh wood chips. Here are some of the highlights: -Sheltered gazebo with a few picnic benches. Nice for a picnic or small party, or just to read while your kids play. -Benches around the park with plenty of sun (for those chillier days) -Swings for older and younger kids -Well paved path going around the lake for a nice walk -Doggie pick up bags and trash can to keep the park clean Other things to note: -No drinking fountain -No nearby bathrooms -Because of the location, there didn't seem to be many kids around in the early afternoon. We went on a school holiday as well, so it seemed like there should have been more kids out and about. Overall, this is a great place for kids and deserves more attention and recognition than it gets.
