Pottawatomie Park

"A relaxing scenic walk along the east bank of the Fox River. Walk leads to the walk bridge over the river. St. Charles could absolutely benefit from a streetcar from the west bank of the Fox through downtown and to the Du Page County Airport and a new Metra station on the UP-W. The old CGW right-of-way is there and ready to build. Let St. Charles know!"

"Pottawatomie Park, oh boy, try saying that name five times fast—I couldn't even pronounce it right after a whole day of trying! Every person I asked had a different pronunciation, and I was left scratching my head. But hey, that was the only challenging part of my day! The rest of my experience was an absolute hoot, let me tell you. This hidden gem is right under your nose, smack dab in the center of St. Charles. If only I had known about this place earlier, I would have been a regular visitor! Picture this: a massive park with an even more massive lake flowing through it. They've got it all—small private boats, rental paddle boats, and even a cute little cruise boat for a delightful river troll. But wait, there's more! There's this bridge, oh my gosh, this bridge! It spans the entire river and is designed with kids in mind. They can run back and forth without a care in the world, no fear of falling off. Plus, it's like a sanctuary from the scorching 89-degree weather. Once you step onto that bridge, the shade and gentle breeze make it hard to leave. You'll find yourself just chilling there, watching the world go by, and boats passing underneath. Ah, bliss! Now, imagine being there with your family for a picnic—it was an absolute blast! The park is filled with lush green trees, and there are playgrounds for basketball, volleyball, you name it—they've got it covered. I kid you not, it felt like stepping into a magical garden, surrounded by nothing but green grass and trees in every direction. The place was buzzing with people, yet it still felt peaceful, like our own little slice of paradise. I can't thank enough whoever is responsible—whether it's the City of St. Charles, Dupage County, or Kane County—they're doing a fab job! This park is a hidden oasis, a half-hour drive away for me, but worth every minute on the road. So, if you're ever in need of some relaxation and a fantastic time, Pottawatomie Park is the place to be! Trust me, you won't regret it."

"This is simply a fantastic park. Bring your family, friends, frisbees, and a picnic basket — you can’t go wrong. Enjoy the view from the tower, play a round of mini golf, swing your little one in the swing, or take a nice long walk or stop by on your bike ride. Enjoy! :)"

"Absolutely beautiful, tons to do, parks for the kids, going on a date night want a nice peaceful walk or a paddle boat ride, this park is definitely a must. We went online and order tickets for the 45 minute boat ride, tickets were 12.00 and every bit worth it. Very relaxing and what an amazing view you get. Plus there are a lot of great places to eat in the area. Highly recommend"
