My boyfriend and I love to take our puppy here to exercise, socialize and burn off some energy. Everyone we meet here is super friendly and the park is well maintained with lots of different things to do.

Charming long trails for biking, jogging in all the seasons with picnic tables...

Massive. Love the greens. And undulating landscape. Awesome for jogging, trekking, cycling or plodding along. Good doggy get away. Place for a nature get together....ring ceremonies, baby showers, family do, you get the hang. But. Those sign posts do NOT tell you how far or what you are getting into. Place gets 9. Help gets you ....ok. leave it at that. Enjoy nature. And sunsets. As you trundle along.

Springbrook is the perfect place to run or bike or, hey, just go for a walk. Its all crushed limestone and very open and safe. The main loop is about 5.4 miles around crossing Book Road twice (once north, once south). There are two primary parking lots: 83rd Street and Plainfield-Naperville Road (which has restrooms); also, there is a smaller parking lot off P-N Road and you can connect from Walmarts lot. There is a little elevation change and Bek Hill which has a nice view of the Preserve. For fun, you can also run under the P-N overpass and get another 3 mile loop, some of which is grass and dirt; that section has a little bridge which is very picturesque.

This is beautiful place to hike in DuPage county, and is maintained very well. It’s a nice place to just chillax after a long day and it is right nearby to popular 75th street. But... that doesn’t mean that the place is noisy. I would definitely recommend!

The parking lot is pretty small so on a busy day you may be out of luck. But the trails are expansive and well taken care of, excellent for a bike ride or walk. And a bonus if you fly RC planes/helicopters/drones - they have an excellent flying field!

There where so many grasses but I could only count 5,678 of them. Mayhaps I shall return and continue to count the grasses. Oh, to be young again and remember each new grass counted. Twas a marvelous feat!

Lovely open trail thats a nice change from the canopies of the usual forrest preserve trail. Like the loop 5.5 trail, nice for exercise. Not too busy. Near the road so you always hear the cars. No shade so definitely would not go on hot day. Dog park is lovely, one of the best Ive been to.

Best place for a quiet run, walk or bike. Lots of sun with not much shade so wear your sunscreen. Plenty of parking at two locations along the trail. 5.5 mile loop that offers some fun hills and occasional wildlife. Beautiful at sunset.

Wonderful public setting for anyone who loves Hiking, Biking on long peaceful Trails no matter if you’re visiting Solo or with family.Enormously stretched Grassland on either side of the Road, this preserve includes a Model Aircraft Area, Several Picnic Benches & an Off-leash Dog Area.Ample parking spaces & Restrooms available.#Hiking #Trails #BikeRide

Its visually a restored Prarie, at least. And clean and friendly, to humans. Not any nature retreat though

Lovely, such a quant place to walk and chill. Just took a time lapse there while watching the Sunset - it was beautiful.Tha passersbys were so friendly too Appreciate the pictures: no filter needed (Samsung Galaxy S10+ quality)

Its relaxing but always has many activities going on. Lunch is great too

All my favorite native grasses all in one place

Easy walk/hikeOkay viewsVery clean trailsNo change in scenery

Was a nice place to go for a walk yesterday but was very busy with other walkers, runners, bike riders, and dog walkers so that was the only unfortunate part. The trails are made of the tiny white rocks so not a flat service, so make sure you wear shoes that are comfy. Overall, this place is only 16 minutes away so I am sure we will be back again. Oh FYI, bathrooms and picnic areas are closed right now due to the pandemic going on.

Local treasure- great hiking, biking, dog park, model aircraft field. Only recommendation might be more signage for larger features and notable plant life. Perhaps offer guided walks for a small fee monthly?

Wanted to go for a hike today, it was a combination of a light hike / walk. I’m glad I looked at the map a couple minutes in cuz there’s a trail called Henslow’s Trail that’s a bit more, shall I say, rustic, than the main limestone path. It goes for 2 miles before connecting back to Sunflower Trail for another mile. The limestone path is great for cycling & running, but a lil boring for just a stroll.

Nice dog park, plus paved walking and biking path around lake. Fishing and boating. Certain months for boating okay. Only thing I was shocked with is you need to have a permit to use the dog parks in ALL of Illinois that I can see. A far cry from dog parks being free in Oregon.

A little over 6 mile track. Clean gravel path. There was a beautiful natural preserve. No shade.

Amazing space for our canine friends!!!

Nice wide path. Full loop is 5.5 miles.

Ok trail, could be better. Asphalt would be nice

We really enjoyed how easy it was to navigate through this path. This isn’t always the case with the paths out here! We took the kids with their bikes and a little disappointed that the paths were gravel at first. But it worked out well. It actually adds cushion to walking and it didn’t interfere with the girls being able to navigate their bikes. One was even a very new rider.

I live just down the street from this park, its one of my favorites! Just make sure you check your pooches for ticks after a walk.

It was okay for a short ride, but there is not a lot of different terrain to see. The nature preserve is pretty much prairie land.

We visited Los Angeles over the weekend and I knew I wanted to hike somewhere. When I heard about Runyon from a local it was an easy decision where we will hike.

I like it here. The only downside is theres to many forest preserve parking lot sqquatters. The parking lot was at max capacity and there are people day camping in their cars sleeping. Maybe put up signs no sitting your car for more than 5 minutes or face a ticket?

Awesome snake and super cool model aircraft field, loved pretending I was a model aircraft (B-52 Bomber to be exact). It was a lot of fun until the Naperville Park District arrested me for not having an Annually Renewable District Permit. Turns out you cant forge those... Help me plz nobody is willing to pay my bail

Beautiful place to escape into the wilderness for a good hour. Plenty of flowers along the path. The whole trail is very well maintained. Its a paved path the whole trail witch I loved. Only thing I didnt like was the circle turn in the middle of the field with can be a bit confusing if u not looking at your phone since there is no mapping witch is why I give it 4 stars.

The park occupies a fairly large territory. very convenient map and location system. Great for athletes: cyclists, runners and walkers. and it will also be interesting for your dog)) when you overcome 5.5 miles with it, then your dog will probably sleep all day. pay attention to this point: this is a prairie park, not a forest! therefore there are few sites in the shade of trees. it can be very hot in the sun, even in cool weather. do not forget the hat! the landscape is quite monotonous, but certainly beautiful. this is a real prairie! with the aroma of wild herbs, many birds and butterflies. if you are running or you like fast cycling, be careful: there are two crossings over a busy road, do not accelerate))

The best place to clear your head

We love bringing the pups here. Great place to let them run around while we walk.

We love walking our Doug here. Long outer track and big social inner circle for the dogs to play in

Large off-leash dog area, fully fenced. The northernmost area can be muddy in wet weather, but the trails are otherwise good.

Well maintained paths wide enough to allow two way traffic without having to step off the trail. Not much protection from the wind and the sun. Wasnt an issue for our hike. Weather was overcast and wind wasnt bad. Trail is fairly flat very little elevation changes throughout. The main trail we were on crossed Book road twice but both are at well defined stop lights. Overall it made for a great cub scout hike. Just over six miles.

Good place for a walk or ride. It is an amazingly good sized natural area. Also good spot for photography, particularly at sunset. The Naperville Photo Group often uses it for their outings.

These parks are very well kept. It gets a bit muddy after rain, but it has a nice trail and a grassy area for playing.

Great place to go for a family walk. Lots of flowers and wildlife to enjoy.

Its a wonderful peaceful place to walk run or bike ride

This is a great way to embrace the outdoors. It is a good path, biking or walking.

Great trails, not a lot of shade areas. Main trail is about 5miles

As a Naperville resident for nearly 30 years, we are VERY FORTUNATE to have this Forest Preserve--as well as many others. The trail is exceptionally safe, well-maintained, never crowded at any time of any day, and is long enough to get solid exercise in for weight loss or just taking a stroll!

I did the 5.5 mile loop. If there on a warm, sunny day just be prepared for sun since it is a prairie and there is little shade.

This place is beautiful and serene. The Bike trail is perfect.

Excellent trails, well maintained and offer a full view of all the park has to offer. Great place for a walk or to take your dog

Great place to Bike Ride Jog walk get some exercise.

Great for run, walk, or cycle. Beware, theres not much shade.

Nice open spaces and walking or mountain bike trails to enjoy unseasonably warm weather. Theres a decent public restroom and an off leash dog area (permit required). You can watch the planes land at the small neighborhood field.

Great place for sunsets

One of the best places to ride, walk and spend with your loved ones!

Not too crowded. Looking forward to post pandemic and the restrooms open.

Full of life!!! Lots of people in the midst of the Covid situation. Refreshing to see!

This is an awesome park. Great for evening walks.

Wide loose gravel trails. Great to bike, run our walk. A two mile loop and 5 mile loop available along with other spurs. Wonderful prairie scenery.

Love bringing my dog here but the people are nice and always make it worth coming back to. The area is well kept and also very easy to find.

Best place to go on a run, walk or bike when its not blistering hot. There are two rest stations with bathrooms, but they are relatively dirty. There is a small model aircraft field by one of the rest stations so thats cool.

Tick spray and you are good!

Flat prairie trails, ponds, grasses and shrubs, flanked by busy roads. It is a small nature area for a quick walk, and we are happy to have it near by.

This is a good place to walk the dog. If your lucky enough, you can watch the REALLY cool & elaborate radio controlled aircraft being operated on a well constructed tarmac. Most of which are flown with great precision. But once in a while . . . Something goes terribly wrong with the radio frequency . . . (Its NEVER the pilots fault!!! ) And C R A S H !!!

The best trail for biking & walking in Midwest.

Springbrook Prairie is freaking awesome. Seriously, its a gem in the midst of disgusting suburban sprawl and strip malls. (That said, if looking out across a beautiful, serene prairie and seeing a looming Wal*Mart in the distance is enough to make you cry, maybe... dont put on your glasses when you stop by.)The main path here is about 5.5 miles in a loop, which cant really be shortened unless you want to take an out-and-back approach. There are mile markers every half mile, so thats not terribly difficult to execute.

Lovely, peaceful, well-kept. Great place to be active. Bring the dogs.

Largest enclosed dog park in the DuPage forest preserve system. My dog loves it!

I like it is nice

Clean, quiet and not crowded

Awesome park & beautiful

Nice little place to take a walk. Lots of critters around. Beautiful view, and lots of areas for different activities.

Best dog park in the area

Great prairie area with a beautiful trail.

Great experience!

Beautiful fall day!!!

For fresh air

Nice and fun

Gorgeous park with some terrific running/biking/walking trails. Really nice fenced area for dogs

Beautiful prairie, crushed limestone path, good elevation just missing some shades. The whole path is under the sun.

Small planes and remote controlled aircraft. Love it !!!

This place is huge get a map of the land before going. The dog park is tucked back a ways. Trails for days. Parking is plentiful. There are restrooms and water fountains.

Nice place to walk your dog or ride your bike and if you dont have a dog, walk around with your best friend, and if you dont have any best friends then its a great place to just walk with the person youre always with, yourself. Many times in my life I have run out of friends but every time Ive looked in the mirror, I still have me. That means I guess Im not a vampire?

Nice views and far enough away from the busy streets. Not good for a road bike not paved roads just crushed gravel.

Lots of space to social distance

My walk was quite peaceful. I did the full 5 mile loop. There are a couple of bridges over a creek. A lot of open fields with red wing blackbirds.

Nice trails, accessible

It shows what Illinois looked like before Americas westward movement

Fantastic trail to go on long walk for 1-2 hours.. very well maintained trails.

One of the best walking trails around. Bikers, Hikers, runners, and the occasional dog walker, although they have a designated area, some people with dogs walk the trail as well. Most people will give a nod to fellow walkers, which keeps it friendly. Nice flora along with native wild flowers in abundance adds to the ambiance. Bird life is very present as well.

I always enjoy stopping at the Springbrook Prairie. I enjoy the beauty of this awesome open space and so thankful to have it preserved and maintained. Great for enjoyjng the wildlife, the vegetation, running, biking, or walking. This beautiful place provides solitude to families and singles. A must stoo during our short seasons.

Great place for walking, jogging and biking. It is a family friendly park with lots of trials!

Dog park is fantastic

Scenic ride with lots of wildlife...especially bunnies!

Great place for dog walkers!

Not enough garbage cans, tables, shelters for humans

Expansive fenced in off leash dog area. Lush greenery and mud pools for swimming lol

Its pretty. Very open, no shade, can be hot. Only 5 miles which isnt much for a bike ride. I guess if you love close thats not a big deal, but this isnt a place to travel to for a family day out or anything. Still, a nice place.

It is a almost flat area for Jogging, Walking, or Biking. There are two major loops for that. One is about 5 mile, and the other 2.2 miles of packed coarse sand paths. Recently they upgraded the trail markings thourghout. Has a remote controlled model plane air field. The only small negative thing about this place is that a road cut through the 5 mile loop, which means you have to cross the road twice in order to complete a loop. Plenty of parking spaces (2 lots).

Loved the trail here in winter! Well maintained park. Its a National Recreation trail. Wide open, no trees, mostly flat and easy trail. Trail markers are posted every half mile, theres a 5.5 mile loop with another 2.4 miles of narrow trail branching off.

This place is a huge prairie--not a house in sight anywhere. The view of the sunsets are like you are in the middle of nature, and yet major 75th St is just up down the road, and you are littlerly 3-5 minutes from malls and stores and restaurants and the busy Rt 59. There is a sandstone path leading to the Model Airplane Field from which you get year-round views the sunset right down to the very horizon (See photo). Just so relaxing

Great prairie!

Nice ride, a pretty open space.
