Small riverfront park on the Des Plaines River offering winding trails, mature trees, river reflections and seasonal color — good for intimate landscapes, waterscape shots and birding. Best at golden hour and during fall foliage; calm mornings offer glassy water and fewer people. Easy roadside parking on Scott St; no entry fee. Paths are mostly flat and stroller/handicap accessible. Expect local dog walkers and occasional anglers.
