Review of Bolingbrook, Illinois


Bolingbrook is getting overcrowded
Star Rating - 6/22/2006
Bolingbrook is a suburb of Chicago. At one time it was a small community, but now that the community is growing exponentially, it's like living in the city.
It went from farmland to shopping malls. The southside of Bolingbrook is nothing but industrial businesses. I understand the community needs businesses to survive, but it's terrible when grass turns into concrete or blacktop and you have to drive outside of the community to have a nature experience.

You should explore the Bolingbrook where I live. It is rich with open space. The Park District alone consists of over 1,000 acres of open space. That space includes Hidden Oaks Nature Center with a LEED Platinum certified building home to year-round outdoor nature programs. Adjacent to the Nature Center is Hidden Lakes, an area of four fishing ponds, picnic areas, a walking/biking trail, and wildlife. The complex adjoins James Boan Woods, Will County Forest Preserve, Whalon Lake, and the sixteen miles of trails in Bolingbrook connect to the broader trail system in the area. There are approximately 50 park sites with various play features including Gateway Wetlands on the east side. If you want to develop an appreciation for nature in Bolingbrook, contact the Bolingbrook Park District at 630.739.0272! You will be amazed at the opportunities available to you.
