Ranchview Park

Park Overview

Nestled in Naperville, Illinois, Ranchview Park spans a generous 8.1 acres of recreational space. It's one of over 130 parks maintained by the Naperville Park District, sitting in a residential neighborhood where it provides a green space for locals looking to get outside and play.

Tennis and Pickleball Paradise

The main feature of Ranchview is its six unlit tennis courts, which have been adapted to welcome the growing pickleball community as well.

What distinguishes these courts is their modular plastic tile system - a practical solution to an ongoing problem. The park had struggled with traditional court coatings failing too quickly, likely because of moisture seeping up from the concrete reservoir below. This system means less maintenance issues and more consistent play time.

Pickleball Central

If you're into pickleball, you'll find a total of nine pickleball courts striped and ready for use. The setup is practical - three courts on the west side use the existing tennis nets, while the six eastern courts require you to bring your own nets.

This dual-purpose design allows both tennis enthusiasts and pickleball players to share the space effectively.

Beyond the Courts

Ranchview isn't just about racquet sports. The park also includes a baseball diamond featuring 60-foot baselines - suitable for youth leagues and casual players.

There's also a versatile multi-purpose field that's ready for whatever game you might have in mind, from casual frisbee to organized soccer practices.

Getting There and Around

You won't need to circle the block looking for parking, as the park provides dedicated spaces for visitors arriving by car.

Once inside, you'll come across pathways and open areas that invite everything from leisurely walks to more intense workout routines.

Ranchview Park offers activities for various interests - whether you want to play tennis, baseball, or simply enjoy the outdoors in Naperville.
