Memorial Park, Wheaton

Highlight • Rest Area

Memorial Park is located just north of downtown Wheaton. It was constructed in 1921 and is the city's oldest park. In 2020, it got a renovation, and now the state-of-the-art bandshell, a Veterans Memorial, and the Lions Terrace are in tip-top shape. It is lively all summer with events like the Summer Entertainment Series, Cream of Wheaton, Shakespeare in the Park, and HOPtober Fest. The facilities are clean, and this little park is a great place to stop.

Illinois Prairie Path (Grand Illinois Trail)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Illinois Prairie Path and Grand Illinois Trail overlap here. Both long-distance trails are built primarily from crushed limestone dust, although they also go through stretches of concrete and asphalt surfacing.

This stretch of trail passes through a greenbelt in the center of town, and also passes close to several parks that can be accessed with just a little road riding.
