Mill Street Park

Shared School Grounds

Tucked away on Mill Street in Naperville, Illinois, this park comes with a little caveat - it's actually part of a school campus. This means you'll want to time your visit for after school hours or weekends when students aren't using the space. Nothing quite like showing up ready for a picnic only to find yourself in the middle of recess!

Little Ones' Paradise

The playground here is particularly suitable for toddlers and preschoolers. The playground here is specifically designed for the 2-5 age crowd, featuring two jungle gyms for climbing adventures and a large swing set where little ones can soar through the air (safely, of course). It's a good spot for young children to play and be active.

Take a Breather

Need a moment to relax while the kids play? The park offers several benches scattered throughout, well-suited for catching your breath or keeping an eye on the playground action. There are also designated picnic areas if you're looking to fuel up with some snacks or enjoy a casual outdoor meal.

Play Ball!

One of the most charming features of Mill Street Park has to be its baseball field complete with a backstop. What makes this field special isn't just the opportunity for a casual game - it's the backdrop. The field backs up to a local farm, creating an almost magical, "Field of Dreams"-like atmosphere that gives your neighborhood baseball game a cinematic quality.

Neighborhood Haven

Located within a residential area of Naperville, this park offers local families a convenient outdoor space close to home where neighborhood kids can play.
