An old trout farm turned Bolingbrook Park District park, where a loop around the chain of ponds is exactly a mile; kids feed ducks from the bank and watch grown-ups fish, and the Hidden Oaks Nature Center next door has small animals and toys.

💡 Tips

You can fish the ponds (check the website for state license rules); the banks have no railings, so hold little ones' hands. The nature center has limited hours, so check first.
