40 Parks in 40 Days - Locust Park

40 Parks in 40 Days is a series highlighting the parks of the Palatine Park District. Additional photos of our 40 Parks in 40 Days series can be found at www.facebook.com/palatineparks.

Locust Park is located at 700 E. Morris Drive in Palatine. The Park District acquired part of the park in 1970 when Willowwood Corporation donated the land for both Locust and Willowwood Parks. A second piece of the park was donated in 2009 by Toby and Cornelia Johnson. The park includes open space, a bridge, and two tennis courts, and is nestled in a quiet residential area in Palatine.

Local Voices contributor Joan Scovic is the Marketing & Sponsorship Coordinator for Palatine Park District.
