About the Business
Deerpath Park, located at 299 Onwentsia Road in Vernon Hills, Illinois, is a popular tourist attraction and park that focuses on conserving nature, supporting wellness, and inspiring leisure for all. One of the highlights of the park is Kids' Castle, a community playground construction project that was completed in 1997 with the help of local volunteers. The castle theme was maintained when it was renovated in 2016, with the addition of a large dragon play structure and rubber surfacing.
Throughout the years, Deerpath Park has seen various expansions and improvements, including the addition of picnic shelters, tennis courts, softball fields, and playgrounds. In 2021, two tennis courts were replaced with six pickleball courts, adding to the recreational options available at the park.
The park also features three beautiful lakes - Firethorn Lake, Willow Lake, and Evergreen Lake - each offering unique opportunities for fishing, boating, and enjoying the outdoors. Visitors can access the lakes by vehicle or bike, and amenities such as drinking fountains, restrooms, playgrounds, basketball courts, and volleyball courts are conveniently located nearby. Whether you're looking to relax in nature or engage in physical activity, Deerpath Park offers something for everyone to enjoy.

Reviews
"One of the nicest parks for kids activities, nice, clean and maintained very well."
"Deerpath Park is a clean and well maintained park just off the beaten path, nestled between a quaint neighborhood district and the Target complex. It's a great place to let kids run off some energy. I am most familiar with the north end of the park, which has two different play areas (one for kids aged 2-5, and one for 5 and up), a sand box, a basketball court, and soccer field. As far as amenities go, there is also access to a covered picnic area, public restrooms, and parking lot with space for 10ish cars."
"Extremely well kept series of parks, fields, courts and play areas. This park is an essential part of the community and a huge reason why we live where we do. The Vernon Hills Park District does an amazing job maintaining all their facilities and especially Deerpath Park"
"Great park, open space, benches, restrooms, coolest castle park, tennis courts, 2 softball fields, and lots of paved walking trails with benches and beautiful scenery all having purpose. Great place to take kids, something for each age group."
