Park Snapshot - Gilbert Park

Gilbert Park is adventure and relaxation packed into one bite-sized package. This park is located at 700 Morgan Street on the city’s south west side, not far from downtown Yorkville. This “Tree House” themed playground is equipped with a playset filled with fun kids activities, a swing set, and benches that provide great views for all the fun.  This park lot was purchased in 2005 from Dan and Jan Gilbert and is named in their honor.
