Dellwood Park

Really nice park that looks to be getting nicer as time goes on. They have built many permanent bathrooms all over which is very convenient. The frisbee golf coarse is one of the nicest I have ever been to. As long as the kids dont destroy it with their graffiti and angst, it could stay that way. A lot of the benches had marker drawings all over them, and some of the signs had peoples initials for aces on them. Remember kids, no one cares if you aced a hole. Stop vandalizing this nice coarse. Take a vine, a snapchat, or just keep it to yourself. Keep this coarse nice for future frolfers.

The walking trails through here are great, though some are a little steep and uneven so not all of them are for everyone. I bring our husky with me when I go and she just loves it. Pretty scenery, lots of different areas, picnic tables and now freebie golf.

I come down once a year to attend the WWII camp that takes place here and participate in the AAGPBL reenactment baseball game and this is one of my favorite locales (and trust me, I’ve been on the tour of WI and IL WWII camps/​parks). The park is big and spacious, the baseball diamond is always nice and well-​kempt, the people are friendly, there’s parking and the event is great. What else could I need?

I love this place. My wife has been hitting up this spot for over a decade and I totally understand why. The kids love the playgrounds and the path is short enough for them to walk without tiring out too quickly. Minus one big star for not having a wheelchair accessible path. We can take our three year old around the park area, but wouldn’t be able to take her into the heart of the park. It’s old so I understand, but it’s still a bummer.

This place is awesome. We started coming here in high school (back then we called it «gothic park», but whatever) and it’s stuck with me even though I graduated over ten *gulp* years ago. Great playgrounds for the kids and amazing paths to wander about. You really have to see it to appreciate the architectural beauty. We’ve never attended any of the events here, but have been here during all seasons – each one more lovely than the next. My family’s favorite outdoor place to go, bar none.

This is a nice big park. It’s got everything a park should have — playgrounds, hiking trails, tennis courts, pavilions, and a kick-​ass sledding hill. It’s a nice place to spend a lazy afternoon or to work off some energy.
