Inwood Park

Play & Recreation Spaces

Tucked away from the main road, Inwood Park is a lovely blend of natural charm and modern fun that's fantastic for just about anyone. You'll come across tennis courts, winding fitness trails, a robust playground, and picnic areas that make this spot great whether you're planning a family day out or just need some solo nature time.

If you're into more niche activities, you'll find bocce ball and horseshoes areas. Perhaps the local highlight? The dedicated pickleball courts - three outdoor courts with permanent nets and lines that you can use completely free. These newer additions are popular with the local pickleball community.

Natural Beauty

Sitting right next to a wooded area and the Inwood Golf Course, this park provides a peaceful setting that feels removed from the city. The hiking and walking trails weave through natural areas, making it easy to stretch your legs while enjoying the surroundings.

One of the park's best features is its abundance of mature trees creating natural shade throughout - a real blessing on those hot summer days. Despite being in Joliet, there's something about this somewhat hidden park that gives it a secluded, tranquil vibe.

Handy Amenities

Need a spot for quiet contemplation? The park's gazebo offers just that. Planning something bigger? Check out the covered pavilion with multiple picnic tables that easily handles larger gatherings.

The playground is impressively spacious with sturdy equipment that works for kids of different ages. For added convenience, you'll discover indoor restroom facilities and plenty of parking spaces throughout.

Community Gatherings

The park has become a go-to spot for community events, church picnics, and family reunions thanks to its open layout and practical facilities. If you're planning an event, the pavilion is available for rent and can comfortably seat up to 50 people.

With various recreational options, natural scenery, and well-maintained facilities, Inwood Park is a versatile outdoor space in Joliet. It might not be the most famous park in town, but that relative obscurity contributes to its secluded charm.
