About Kroehler Park

Playground Features

Situated in a residential area, Kroehler Park offers a cozy playground that's fantastic for the younger crowd. If you have little ones, they'll likely be drawn to the teeter-totter and other play equipment designed with smaller children in mind.

What makes this park a bit special is its location near the train tracks. For kids who get excited about locomotives (and let's be honest, many do), there's something magical about being able to pause their play to watch trains rumble by. It's like getting two attractions in one visit.

Park Amenities

This quiet neighborhood spot provides a peaceful retreat for family outings. Just a heads up - you won't find any public restrooms here, so plan accordingly before your visit.

Historical Significance

Though Kroehler Park may be modest in size, it carries a meaningful connection to Naperville's past. The park bears the name of Peter E. Kroehler, an important figure in local history who was connected to the Kroehler Manufacturing Company - which was once the largest employer in Naperville. It's a small green space with deep community roots.

Upcoming Improvements

Looking ahead, the Naperville Park District has some changes in store for this local park. A playground renovation project is on the calendar for July through September 2025. It's nice to see this little park getting some attention to keep it enjoyable for future generations of families.
