Visited Ebersold Park in Downers Grove one August afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed the walk. The asphalt paved trail circumscribing the park is a ¾ mile loop including a little stretch of street sidewalks. The trail provides beautiful views of the rolling hills and well-tended trees. The north end of the park has wetland vegetation. At the center of the park is a nice children’s playground. Ebersold Park is a community park most suited for walking or jogging. The park sign says the park is a National Gold Medal winner.

This park about 20 acres or two city blocks. There is a paved path that's about one kilometer long that makes a loop with a connecting tail. In a raised area there is a flat playing field area of about 2 acres that's used for soccer and other sports. A nice toddler playground is right by the parking area. The main winter attraction is a sledding hill that can be jam packed if there is any good snowfall, plus facilities for an ice rink which has not been used for years, but was very popular when it was active (about 2000 to 2010). Parking for about 100 cars, although you'll rarely see more than about 5 cars there. School buses tend to park there. Port-a-potties are available, and a water fountain in the summer,
