About Hobson Grove Park

Your Neighborhood Getaway

Located in the community fabric of Naperville, Illinois, Hobson Grove Park offers a charming escape from the everyday hustle. This local green space is maintained by the Naperville Park District as part of their network of over 130 parks and facilities. If you're living nearby, this park is essentially your extended backyard - no road trip required.

Fresh Face for 2023

The park got a bit of a makeover in 2023, with renovations breathing new life into its amenities. Between mid-April and mid-June, both the playground and backstop received some much-needed attention.

These updates weren't just cosmetic - they're part of the Park District's commitment to keeping their spaces both safe and accessible for everyone. The playground now features a fresh array of play sets that are popular with the younger visitors.

What You'll Find

The heart of Hobson Grove Park lies in its welcoming green spaces, meant for everything from impromptu frisbee games to peaceful afternoon reading sessions. Its nestled position within a residential area means you're never too far from a breath of fresh air and a moment of tranquility.

Getting There and What to Expect

Consider Hobson Grove something of a quiet secret in Naperville's park scene. You'll need to follow the sidewalk around from the street to find your way in - it's not immediately obvious from the road, which actually adds to its charm.

The somewhat hidden nature of this park creates a peaceful atmosphere that's perfect if you're looking to avoid the crowds at larger parks. Note that some local dog owners frequent the area, and occasionally you might encounter an off-leash pup or two during your visit.
