Great area! My experiences with Frontier Park have been for two different occasions:…read more 1) This was where I parked my car my sophomore year of high school (2004), because the school lot was reserved for upper class man. There's a convenient path to walk from the lot to the school. 2) I was here for the Naperville Winter Ale fest and they were able to partner with the school for parking which was great. The park area is a really good size with a decent parking lot as well. The ale fest took place in the parking lot and there was tons of room for over 200 vendors, tents, food trucks, a fire pit and more. Frontier is set back behind the school and businesses over on 95th & 59, which is great because there on convenient businesses near by, but not on top of the park. There are all the amenities a good park should have: - Playground - Basketball - Softball - Backstop - Bocce Ball - Multi Purpose Field - Trails - Picnic Shelter - Parking - Restrooms - Skate Park I highly suggest it!

It was an okay forest preserve. We had fun and there were plenty of trails for biking and hiking…read morebut when I think of a forest preserve I think of a massive amount of dense trees. Most of our hiking was on a rock path in sunlight (yes, I enjoyed myself) it's a Nice area to enjoy the day but not the very wooded area I was hoping. If I'm going to a forest I want to be immersed in trees. There was a historic barn and house which wasn't tour able but a photo op. There were other trails we did not embark but from the road view it seemed the other trails were also not in the woods.

I love this place! All the dogs we have come across have all been super friendly. The park is…read moregenerally pretty clean and spacious. I love the little loop trail as it helps when to walk if your dog gets too excited or nervous. I paid for the pass just to be safe, but I've only seen it happen once where someone checked to see if people had a pass.

I so much enjoy going to Lake Ellyn Park for years now. Love walking all around the lake and…read morelooking at the views. The play ground is great for little ones. Boat house looks great and like watching people catch little fish and release. Probably some of the most favorite things is all the mature trees. It's so calm there that it is easy to relax. Lots of people with hammocks just chillin and a lot of the houses around Lake Ellyn are pretty spectacular so even great views on both sides when walking around the park and lake

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.

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.

We had a 12:00pm appointment. The 2 very kind workers that were there were unfortunately unable to…read moreunlock the doors to give us the kayaks that we reserved. 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. Sincerely, Very hot and disappointed patron

This park offers a bit of variety for kids who have seen the same old thing at other playgrounds…read more The fact that this park has a walking trail along the lake as well as a playground with swings and spinning equipment is great! 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.

For one there's a little pond that's nice for laying by. There's also amenities including a playground. A pretty good amount of space considering it's surrounded by houses. It's even big enough for a pond around which the park is situated on. The main reason why people come here though is the pretty modern playground. Has the things to keep children occupied for a few minutes. There's a jungle gym, slide, and swings. For sure it's not that interesting, but it doesn't have to be. It's located on Middlebury at Spinnaker. This is also good for exercise like jogging or walking.
