The
Lockport Township Park District and the
Will County Forest Preserve are stewards to 2 major recreational attributes of the Downtown. The first is the Canal Bike and Walking Path that connects Dellwood Park in the south with Isle A La Cache to the north. The second is the vast open space just west of the Downtown where the Des Plaines river runs through undisturbed prairie.
Less then a mile away, the Park District operates an 18-hole golf course, an indoor tennis / fitness facility, and an indoor pool. The Park District also has its own police department, responsible for all law enforcement on the district’s property, ensuring that parks and facilities are safe places to play. Special events and holiday celebrations - including concerts, art and flower shows, golf outings, movie presentations, pool parties, and events for Easter, Halloween, and Christmas - spice up every season.
