One of Warrenville’s best features is its ability to incorporate the natural landscape into the fabric of the town. The City is surrounded by forest preserve, including Blackwell, Warrenville Grove, and Herrick Lake. Warrenville has made an effort to maintain open space that residents and visitors alike can enjoy. Across these parks and open spaces traverse trails and paths for all to use.

Those looking for a chance to experience a natural setting should visit the Ferry Creek Wetland Restoration at Summerlakes Park. This six-acre piece of open land has been landscaped for the benefit of water conservation and wildlife resources. The adjacent park features ball fields and other amenities for recreation.

Speaking of parks, children can enjoy playground equipment and other amenities at any of the other four parks that are situated throughout the City. Lions Park is located on the east side of the community, Kiwanis Park on the southwest side, Summerlakes Park on the northwest side, Sesquicentennial Park in the center of town, Leone Schmidt Heritage Park in the downtown, and Warrenville’s premier location, Cerny Park, on the south side of the City. In addition, visitors can go to other open spaces including the Gazebo along the Prairie Path across the street from City Hall and the library, Bob Walters Commons between the Warrenville Public Library and City Hall, or the Plum Path sitting area located at Manning Avenue and Main Street.

For those who like to walk, jog, bike ride, or horseback ride, the Illinois Prairie Path runs through the center of town. This highly recognized and well-used recreational trail has been the recipient of numerous awards and is nationally recognized. In the event of inclement weather, Warrenville’s Park District Recreational facility located at 3S260 Warren Avenue offers an indoor track and numerous fitness and exercise equipment. Lifetime Fitness also resides in Warrenville at 28141 Diehl Road. It offers exercise and aquatic facilities, children-friendly facilities and a gymnasium.
