This park has roughly 3 1/2 acres of land and includes facilities for children and adults. It includes a pavilion for cooking out, a basketball Court, room for practicing your golf swing, horseshoes, and a nice playground. This park has two sets of playground equipment for children ... one each for the different age groups. There are also fenced-in tennis courts for those that play that sport, and the courts have the added attraction of being lined out for pickleball games. This is a great park for all to use ... and it is close by in the neighborhood. Try it ...

Bring a water bottle! I saw only 1 fountain (old rusty manual hand-pump one) that was about a 10 minute walk on the yellow trail by the stairs. Not even sure if it works! There are a lot of trees (which is surprising since most trails I've been to in the Chicagoland area is pretty sparse)! Watch out for horse poop! Apparently, these trails are shared with bikers, pedestrians, and equestrians!

Can I get a w00t w00t for Forest Preserves?! The Sag Valley Trail System in Palos Park is a great…read moresystem of forest preserves that one can use for hiking, biking, running, horse riding, and of course throwing a stone soul picnic. We decided to grab our mountain bikes for some early spring trail riding. Plenty of people out and about enjoying the trails, and even an equestrian or two. (Watch out for road apples!) The trails are clearly marked but do yourself a favor and print out a color copy of the trail map or you might take a wrong turn at Albuquerque and wind up doing a loop twice. Trails were well-groomed albeit somewhat muddy in spring, there is definitely some degree of difficulty of steep uphill and fast downhill riding, so be prepared to get a workout. There's an old toboggan slide that we decided to carry our bikes up to shorten our ride. This hill makes Rocky's jog up the Philadelphia Institute of Art stairs seem like child's play! And there was a high school wrestling team taking advantage of it for workouts. It's a Vision Quest! I can't wait to do this again in summer when there is full greenery. This is an incredibly peaceful Oak Savannah, with many oaks and the occasional fir, and we had four deer run across the trail 20 yards ahead of us at one point. The Sag Valley Trail System in Palos Park is only a 45-minute drive from the city center, so rack up those bikes and surrey down! You won't regret it!

Alsip's Park District offers a lot of classes and things for younger kids to do like crafts, day…read morecamp, gymnastics, etc. They also offer teen and adult classes like ballroom/salsa dancing, music lessons, etc. Alsip's actual parks have drastically improved in the last few years. Sears Park (on the south side of 123rd b/t Pulaski and Kedzie) was recently redone with a lighted walking path (unfortunately it isn't a full mile) and all new playground and workout equipment and it looks great! Sears park is also the home field of the Alsip Falcons (youth football & cheerleading), so I'm sure it will get put to good use. However, I've only visited Sears Park twice, seeing as how NONE of Alsip's parks are dog friendly, we generally choose to go Mount Greenwood Park (where the people are friendlier there too).
