About Wil-O-Way Commons Park

Play Paradise by the River

Tucked alongside the West Branch of the DuPage River, Wil-O-Way Commons Park is one of those perfect spots where nature and fun coexist beautifully. There's a modern playground area that's designed for kids of all ages and abilities - because everyone deserves a good play session!

The playground isn't your average swing-and-slide setup. Little adventurers can challenge themselves on the twist net climber, bounce on the see-saw, or conquer the arch climber - all elements that'll keep them happily active while you enjoy a moment of peace (or join in, no judgment here).

Trail Connections

Feel like stretching your legs? Wil-O-Way Commons gives you direct access to the DuPage River Trail, ideal for when you need to clear your head or burn some energy. Head north along the path and follow the river's gentle curves - regardless of whether you're walking, jogging, or cycling, the scenic views make a great backdrop.

What's great is that you can use this park as your launchpad for longer adventures on the trail network, or just pop by for a quick nature fix when time is tight.

Natural Vibes

There's something calming about being near water, isn't there? The park's riverside location creates a peaceful atmosphere that's hard to beat. The open spaces and natural surroundings offer a little breathing room from everyday hustle - ideal for when you need to unwind, observe local wildlife, or simply sit and exist for a while.

Park Details

Wil-O-Way Commons is maintained by the Naperville Park District, which looks after an impressive network of 137 parks spanning over 2,400 acres throughout the city. It's just one site in Naperville's extensive park system, but definitely worth discovering.
