Lake Ellyn Park, National Historic Park in Glen Ellyn, Illinois.
Lake Ellyn Park encompasses several walking paths circling a central lake, with designated areas for fishing, picnicking, and recreational activities throughout the grounds.
The land surrounding Lake Ellyn was transformed from a drinking water reservoir in the early 1900s into a public recreational space for the growing suburban community.
The park district organizes regular outdoor concerts, community festivals, and seasonal celebrations that bring residents together throughout the calendar year.
Visitors can access the park daily from sunrise to sunset, with dedicated parking areas located near the main entrance and recreational facilities.
During winter months, when temperatures permit, the lake surface freezes naturally, allowing visitors to practice ice skating in a National Register listed location.
