The 2 stars is not for the park itself; but rather the sketchy location of the park. Recently, if you keep up with Carol Stream news, the park was severely vandalized costing about $20,000 in damages. The location is by ‘affordable housing’. And a variety of at-risk youth hang out at this park. It’s not the safest location for such an amazing park. If only this park was in a better location, I would give it 5 stars. If they changed the location l, I assure you this park wouldn’t get vandalized and destroyed.

I go here a few times a week to walk my dog, but a lot of people ride their bikes through it, partly because it connects to Mitchell Lakes and Veterans Park behind the Village Center. Armstrong is nicely paved with lots of Great Blue Heron, Great Egrets, and Mallard ducks in the mini-marshes on its south side. It has sand volleyball, basketball courts, baseball fields, and two playgrounds.

Hot, no shade trees where we were allowed to sit. 2pm game. It was hot, hot. I walked around to shade when my grandson hit and pitched. Finally someone offered me an umbrella. The park itself is nice. Just need more shade, sorry not sorry.

Very nice and open but a long walk from the parking lot

Nice to run laps, & walk the dogs. They have dog waste stations so lets all use them & keep the park clean please.

Great park and the district staff were very friendly and helpful. Thanks Director Jim for a great park district.

Nice place to have fun time with you family

Not the best maintained but not bad.

Plenty of parking and goid walking trails among other park attractions.

Nice park make sure you park near you field!

Nice community.

A place for many activities that you dont find in other parks

You are not old age friendly, great park legs get tired

Well taken care of, good drainage for rain days and lights at night. The maintenance crew are always very attentive and in time. Parking is a little far but field quality makes up the walk and worth every step.

Nice place to walk. Quiet and peaceful. Sometimes there are ducks if it rains.

I love love. Armstrong park. Just move from Glendale Hts. To Carol Stream. The best place for walking running. Anyway love it

The parking is at least a mile away from the fields, as well as the bathrooms.

Quiet nice Park museum

Nice little play area for the little kids.

Huge park with lots of thing to do

Baseball fields hurt to slide on.

Was much better when the Aldrin center and lake George was there. I especially feel sorry for the people who live around there and had a nice view of a pretty lake. Now they stare at a big garbage looking hill with nasty storm water.

This park is great! From sports fields and running paths to several playgrounds and nature watching there is something for everyone.

Very beatiful, the soft ball fields are is such great shape! Very well taken care of

This a beautiful park with lots of paths for running, bike riding, or just strolling with the family.

Great little spot for aesthetic pictures and enjoying nature. Could even go bird watching here, Im sure.

Average park with average facilities

Relaxing environment, good place to walk dogs, and well kept.

Love this park. One of my favorites. Has great bike trails and playgrounds for kids. I know things need to updated, but I miss the sledding hill. And especially the old playground with the forts.

Lots of space for many different activities, plus good parking.

Hard to find park and field 1

Very nice place to be. Lovely looks!

Nice place to put walk and play with kids

Nice neighborhood Park with baseball, basketball, tennis along with water retention pond.

Great look and feel at this park for baseball families.

Nice clean place alot of geese droppings tho

Use to be better when they had the bigger parks not really much to do anymore.

The bathroom wasnt cleaned

Surprising number of shore birds around the lake and water, which is great for birders. Amazing how much the place has changed over the years.

Like the playground in the middle of the fields for siblings. The fields are in good shape and appropriate for Youth Baseball. Only complaint everyone seems to have is the long walk from any place to park to the field. Especially carrying sometimes heavy sports equipment

Located in the heart of Carol Stream. A very nice and pleasant place for walking, jogging, cycling and exercising. Additionally, there are grounds for many games. Moreover, there is playing area for kids. Absolutely, love this place.

This is a great park to just walk around and enjoy the scenery. Its got several paths, including the track around the reservoir.

Our daily walk spot! Today I went to pay respect to a boy who lost his life here!

Nice Little League baseball fields!

Very spread out, but limited things to do. Gets flooded easily.

Nice well kept park

Nice complex when it doesnt flood

The geese arent nice but the caboose is. Nice place to walk or workout.

Love how they have 3 different parks although they are kind of bland. Mostly for younger kids. I miss the old wooden castle park though. That one was for older kids and very cool.

Open area great place for friends to hangout

Beautiful

The caboose is neat

It is a great place

Nice park area for the kids to play. Really well kept up with.

Good but the old one was better. Not that exciting

They did a great job of making the park a working park dispite the water manegment problems. Its a great walking park with many different levels of walking from difficult to easy. I do miss the larger pond we use to have. But i understand the water issues you had to correct. It also has 3 great playgrounds for different age groups.

The parking is too far away from the baseball/softball fields.

You took away kids world....and put that park up?? And the indoor pool is now gone!? Where do we swim in the winter!?

Love this park. They re-did the path so now its awesome to run on

The updated kids play area and the picnic area is a good addition. The park is clean and well maintained

I live a few blocks away and walk my dog thru the park daily. Park has gone thru some updating recently consisting of... new asphalt walkways ( some with new lighting), new upper ball field, new upper play area (removed the old castle park), new bathroom facilities and drainage improvements meant to relieve the surrounding area from heavy rains. The park is busy during the spring, summer and fall with baseball, basketball and families. Nice park next to library and schools. The park district could have installed more lighting along the walkways for night time walking or running. Otherwise nice community park...

Its a park. Pretty big. Nice walking path and play grounds. Adjacent to kids world.

Baseball fields sub par.Nice playground and paths.

Amazing park that has been well-maintained, complete with a unique playground, baseball diamonds, walking/biking trails, and much more!

Check it out , to take grand kids to . Will have to wait for warm weather. Then see what other type of people are their also .

Nice place to visit

Clean nice comfortable and shady for hit days

I love the park because it is big and has so many fun things

They just finished renovating Armstrong park. Personally I like the old way better but its upscale and nice now.

Variety of attractions for all ages

Fun to go out with friends and play Pokémon Go ;)

Happy kid

Nice baseball fields

Great place, nice baseball fields.

Good place to take a walking...

Its nice and clean

Great place to walk and Pokémon go

LOOOOOONG walk from parking lot to baseball fields. Dirt on fields is chunkier than most other fields. Inconsistent bounces.

Public recreation

Nice!

Very good park for kids

Good

Nice Park

So fun!!!

Great walking paths

Very nice facilities

Very clean

Good place for a family picnic

Okay place to visit

Too late have earlier games.

No bathroom in winter.

Nice park

Had access to a lot of trails but you have to go on streets or sidewalks part of the way.

Needs bathrooms closer to the fields and a food shop.

Nicely preserved

Great ball fields

Nice basketball court

Beautiful
