About Chuck E. Hoscheit Park
A Closer Look at the Park
Tucked away at the southeast corner of Montgomery Road and Kautz Road in Aurora, Chuck E. Hoscheit Park (sometimes called Charles E. Hoscheit Park or Waubonsie Creek Park) might be modest in size at just 19 acres, but don't let that fool you. This compact green space packs in plenty of features that make it worth exploring, whether you're a sports enthusiast or just looking for a peaceful spot to unwind.
Batter Up!
The crown jewels of this park are undoubtedly its two lighted baseball fields, which transform into community hubs when game season rolls around. The fields are well-kept and designed to accommodate players of various skill levels, from little league hopefuls to more competitive teams.
What's particularly nice is the lighting system that extends play into the evening hours - ideal for those summer nights when you're not quite ready to call it a day. Baseball enthusiasts will find themselves right at home here, with games regularly drawing cheerful crowds of players and spectators alike.

Getting Around
You'll never have to circle around looking for a spot to park your car, as the lot can accommodate up to 250 vehicles. This makes it super convenient whether you're showing up for a scheduled game or just dropping by for some fresh air.
If you're feeling a bit more adventurous, the park connects to the Gilman Trail, offering a gateway to explore beyond the park's boundaries. Lace up your walking shoes, hop on a bike, or simply enjoy a leisurely stroll along the paved paths that extend from the park.
The Little Things
Planning a small gathering? The park comes equipped with a grill and the basics like garbage and recycling bins, making it a good spot for a casual picnic. There's also a shelter available that provides welcome shade on sunny days or can be reserved for community events.
Note that while washroom facilities exist, you'll need to make a reservation to access them - something to keep in mind if you're organizing an event. One thing the park currently lacks is a playground, which would certainly make it more appealing for families with younger children.
Regardless of whether you're catching a baseball game, taking a walk, or simply enjoying some quiet time outdoors, Chuck E. Hoscheit Park offers a straightforward, no-frills space to connect with your community and enjoy the simpler pleasures of park life.
