Parks & Facilities Map

This exceptional outdoor facility includes a neighborhood playground, preschool playground, and a ball field. Island Prairie was established in 1990, creating an eight-acre retention pond that is annually stocked for fishing by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. Island Prairie was seeded and established with native Illinois grasses in 1991, offering a glimpse of our native setting, which is rapidly disappearing in Illinois.

Island Prairie Park The most recent improvement, a 1.9 mile bike path/walking trail begins at Island Prairie along Aaron Drive. Residents can enjoy the sights and sounds of wildlife and native plantings as they travel the trail linking Island Prairie to Indian Boundary South, Kingston, and Hoffman parks. As the center of indoor park activity, the Park District Community Center is the administrative headquarters of the district. Home to the very popular early childhood programs and numerous park programs, there are activities for people of all ages to enjoy. Meeting space is available for community groups at this site. The expansive community room can be rented for a nominal fee, and is a popular choice for hosting graduation parties, birthday parties, weddings, and other family events. Smaller gatherings of up to 45 guests will enjoy the rental facilities of our carpeted board room. Full kitchen facilities are available to all rental parties.
