Parks & Facilities Map 
A neighborhood park nestled in the northeast corner of the Frankfort Square Park District borders in Tinley Park, this park was designed through collaborative efforts of park staff and residents who surround the site. $400,000 in grant funds helped make the numerous amenities of this beautiful park possible.
 The park design provides fitness, recreation, and educational amenities for our residents. To enhance exercise opportunities the park includes a ½ mile asphalt walk/bike trail with nine Life Trail fitness stations, offering a complete low-impact strength and flexibility workout. In addition, two bocce ball courts and a large playground offer family recreation activities for all ages. A chess table and picnic pavilion round out the recreational structures on the site. Park Ecologist Clayton Wooldridge worked with landscapers to design and install a natural landscape which includes an arboretum containing over thirty species of trees and shrubs. Educational signage will help residents identify and learn about these species. Finally, a pond viewing terrace was constructed to allow close observation of the native prairie and wetland plantings and the wide variety of waterfowl which often visit the site.
Adult fitness, family fun, and educational resources make this one of the Frankfort Square Park District’s finest park sites. Brookside Glen East Park is hard to find but well worth the effort!
