The Best Park You Haven't Been To

Photos of the Day-

I might be making a HUGE mistake here, but I'm going to tell you about my favorite park in Naperville. People that do know about it, love it. But there are many that drive by it's entrance every day without hardly a notice. I'm talking about , just northwest of Downtown Naperville off Douglas Ave. With it's long, tree-lined entrance it always gives me a feeling of going back in time to how this town used to be.

There is ample picnic space (including a new covered table area), a spot for bonfires (with a permit of course), and even a trail that goes down to the river. I've seen deer, fox, and even a couple turkeys back there. And it's a great spot for photography, especially this time of year.

With that being said, I thought I share a few photos from Burlington Park. Now, let's just keep this little secret spot between you and me, OK? I like things the way they are.
