Jones Island Beach

Jones Island Beach is a sand beach with recreation facilities in Grayslake situated along Grays Lake. The area includes volleyball courts, a playground, picnic spots, and open green spaces right at the water's edge.

The beach was created through dredging operations of a wetland area next to Grays Lake, with the excavated material used to form this recreational peninsula. This engineering project turned a natural wetland into an intentional recreational space for public use.

The beach serves as a gathering spot where locals come together for sports, family outings, and informal socializing throughout the year. The volleyball courts and play areas show how the place shapes everyday activities and brings people together.

The area is easy to access during daytime hours and offers open spaces for moving around freely. Restrooms, picnic facilities, and parking are available on site, making it convenient for day visits.

During winter months, a section of the channel is prepared specifically for ice skating and ice hockey activities. This seasonal transformation shows how the location changes entirely depending on the time of year.
