About Wil-O-Way Park

Features and Amenities

Tucked away on W Jefferson Avenue, Wil-O-Way Park spreads across 8.4 acres of green space that offers a peaceful escape from the bustle of Naperville. The park offers various activities, whether you're looking to break a sweat or just enjoy some fresh air.

Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the basketball courts and baseball field that are kept in great condition for both serious players and weekend warriors. If you're bringing little ones along, they'll have a blast at the playground area with its thoughtfully designed playsets.

The playground includes a smaller one well-suited for toddlers ages 2-5 and a more adventurous setup for kids 5-12. The playground goes beyond the basics with a small sand pit complete with hand-operated diggers that kids love, some fun spinners for whirling around, and a classic swingset for that timeless playground experience.

Recreation and Relaxation

Need a spot for lunch or a family gathering? You'll discover shaded picnic areas scattered within the park, with tables strategically placed under leafy trees that provide much-needed shade on those sunny Illinois days.

The layout of Wil-O-Way is particularly nice, with plenty of open green spaces to toss a frisbee or kick a ball around, plus walking paths that wind through the park. These paths are fantastic for your morning jog or an evening stroll to clear your head.

Facilities and Accessibility

In terms of facilities, the park keeps it simple with a regularly maintained Port-O-Let for restroom needs. One thing to note is that parking is street-only, which can fill up when the park gets busy.

The good news is that Wil-O-Way sits within a residential neighborhood, making it an easy walk for many locals. Many local families and neighbors regularly visit throughout the seasons.
