Pickerel Point Park

Natural Setting

Nestled along the Fox River in South Elgin, Illinois, the 3.49-acre Pickerel Point Park offers a little glimpse of nature that's great for when you need to unwind. The river views create a calming backdrop - a nice escape from daily routines. While it's known as a fishing spot, we should mention that your chances of actually catching something can be hit-or-miss depending on when you visit.

Disc Golf

The nine-hole disc golf course is the main feature of this park. Equipped with DISCatcher Pro targets, it's ideal for when you want a quick round without committing your entire day. The course itself is pretty straightforward, however you might need to pause your game occasionally for picnickers who are also enjoying the space.

Just a heads-up: the tees are grass rather than concrete, which might not be everyone's preference. And if you're planning a summer visit, don't forget to pack some bug spray - the mosquitoes can be quite the welcoming committee during warmer months!

Amenities

The park is cart-friendly, making it easier to transport disc golf gear or picnic supplies. Dog lovers will appreciate that four-legged friends are welcome to join in on the outdoor fun.

You'll discover restrooms available when nature calls, but there's no drinking water on-site - so bring your own bottle to stay hydrated. The picnic tables scattered throughout provide perfect spots to enjoy lunch with a view.

Overall, Pickerel Point Park strikes a nice balance - it's not overwhelmingly fancy, but it offers enough natural beauty and basic amenities to make for a pleasant outdoor experience in South Elgin.
