I don’t understand how there can be a public park but you can’t bring your dog on a leash. Signs in the parking lot indicate no dogs allowed. Apparently elephants, giraffes, etc. are allowed since there are no signs saying otherwise.
This was my first time visiting. It was lovely. The trails were all really well maintained and it was fun to explore. I went with my two sons (1 year and almost 3 year-old) and they had a lot of fun exploring. My mom came with us, too. I was able to push a stroller over all the trails - although not 100% recommended. It is possible, if needed.
A beautiful park in the midst of a suburb...but walking its magnificent trails you'd think that you were somewhere far away. Well worth a visit.
Although the visitor's center is closed due to the pandemic, the outside trails are well groomed and marked, giving us an upfront encounter with the natural flora and fauna of the Illinois prairie long ago paved over and developed into the village of Downers Grove we know today. My wife, grandkids, and I spent a beautiful fall day leisurely walking the many trails and learning about the original and current plants and animals described on informational boards strategically placed along the way. I told the kids we would see and hear a variety of birds and deer; we weren't disappointed.
This is a place that I am now obsessed with. I stopped here on a whim and explored quite a bit. There is a nice little center for learning that is currently closed due to covid, but all of the trails are open. The trails are super nice with lots of space to keep 6ft apart. Most of the trails are paved but some are just wood chips which is actually nice for a change. The wildlife especially the birds are immaculate!! If you have an afternoon free or even an hour, I suggest going here.
