Messenger Marsh

Nice spot for an easy walk. A lot of parking available. Gravel trail. I would say it can be stroller friendly on a dry, sunny day... there is a fenced dog park near a pavilion but it did say you need a permit.

A great spot for a hike. We're excited for the snow to melt. The trail was a little trickier to walk on with all the snow. A great spot for a picnic too. They also have a dog park there as well. I believe you need a permit though.

Great place to take the kids on a walk, or ride a bike that can off road on gravel, or take your dog! Lots of space to walk on trails all over.

LOVEEEE THIS DOG PARK! In the summer we go 7 days a week. In the winter we go 2 to 3 times a week. Always clean, stocked with doggie bags incase you forget & taken care of. Dogs & their owners are wonderful at this park. We've made wonderful friends & our dog loves coming. Lots of area to run, trees and brush to run through & mud to get into during the wet days. Best investment for our dog has been purchasing the pass.

Great walking trails, over 6 miles. Varied terrain including streams, woods, prairie and lakes. Horses are welcome on the trails. Tow dog parks: one for big dogs, one for small dogs.

Typical Illinois state grassland/forest preserve. The path is wide, crushed gravel. There is a huge dog park.

I've been coming here with my family for memorial day picnics since 1984. It's my favorite place in the world.

Great place to take a walk or bike ride. Really big dog park too. We walk the trail with our dogs, its like a mile or 2 loop so its perfect to walk through the prairie and relax.

Great limestone paved trails with a dog park. There isn't much to see, since it is in a neighborhood, but it is very peaceful and an easy walk.

Considering all the recent rains there was very little water on the trail. Drains nicely but did leave some rough spots with large rock and soft surfaces. Overall great 3 miles we walked tonight staying on the portion east of Bell Rd

Huge fenced in area for dogs to run. They seperate the big and small dogs and it seems like everyone follows it well. Very well kept up and a great place to spend a few hours. The trails are also very nice!

A nice location to go for a walk in

We have our family picnic here every for 38 years. I absolutely love this place it's clean, quiet and very well maintained

this dog park is huge! i love the wildflowers, small walking paths and the huge fenced in land!

Cool spot with lots of trees for the dogs to run through and chase each other. The layout is nice Becuase you can have lots of dogs and they can still find their own spots to play in.

I went there looking for memories. I had heard the sirens call once again, sweetly singing of a love no mortal man has ever known, or lived to tell. I can only recall the moment of awakening, for now it never ends. Eternal blissful, sinfully decadent, the temptation fulfilled and was never again

One of the six Will county more wooded which means we gotta check the baby girl for ticks but she still has fun running

This is a very nice place to picnic or just take a walk or even ride a bike. I didn't go through the entire place but it does seem very nice and it's very quiet.

Only stopped a rest and a clean bathroom, found both. Seems like a nice park, police were chillin in a shady corner of the parking lot.

Best dog park around. It's huge! Great place to let your dog be a dog.
