River Run Preserve South

A Riverside Retreat

Stretching along the banks of the DuPage River, River Run Preserve South offers a peaceful natural escape within Naperville's residential landscape. The park's riverside setting isn't just pretty to look at - it creates a genuine connection to nature that's sometimes hard to find without driving miles from the city.

The preserve's flat terrain makes exploring a breeze, whether you're taking a leisurely stroll or bringing along family members of all ages. There's something calming about being near water, and this spot offers a genuine sense of tranquility.

Things to Do

When hunger strikes, head to the picnic area where you can enjoy a packed lunch while surrounded by the preserve's natural beauty. If you've got kids in tow, the playground provides a fantastic outlet for their energy while you maybe sneak in a few moments of quiet.

Dog owners, you're in luck - the open spaces here make this a great spot to spend some quality time with your four-legged friends. Just remember to keep them leashed and clean up after them!
