Its a beautiful place. The view from the pavilion is amazing. But, like others have mentioned, the walking area around the pond is not very clean, with geese droppings. The bison can be seen from the playground. And Ive read that the playground will be renovated soon, it sure does need to be upgraded. Theres one more little playground.
Beautiful and historic park that is well cared for. I enjoy spending time here pursuing my hobbies.
I love this park! The groundskeepers are so kind and I can see why! So quaint and picturesque. I dont think the people who live around the park know how blessed they are. Take the kids to the petting zoo, have a picnic, beautiful landscape to take photos. I visited every day to walk the 2.0+ miles around the park. Look at the photos! Love it
Why did I wait so long to visit the sprawling gem in my own neighborhood? I knew about the playground and buffalo, but having water features, tennis courts, picnic areas and just tons of beautiful space makes this a welcome retreat.
Love reading my book on the bench in the morning, by the water and all ducks. Great for afternoon walks as well. The animals are fun touch as well.
If you love a place where you can get out and go for a nice quite walk then Lords Park is your place. Nice area to enjoy the walk with your significant other or your kids, with a variety of playgrounds and plenty of animals that the kids would love. The only reason I gave this place a four star is due to the fact that the walking area near the pond is full with animal feces. If the trail would be clean everyone in awhile then it would be a 5 star.
I loved this park.! Very nice and loved seeing the Bison.
Was great! Im 30 years old & been goin there since I was a child. Needs more raindeer & buffalo!
It is beautiful a great place for photos there is a bass boy statue. Ponds to walk around there is even a stable with horses
Is a nice place just to take a walk or play with your RC cars
I got married at the church around lords Park its beautiful to take pics at i also took prom pics plus what ever else dances I attended beautiful place!! Great sceneries
Beautiful place to visit regardless of what time of year it is.
Nice quite place....good for walking and relaxing.
Pretty nice place. The scenery is beautiful but there are one too many geese droplets on the floor near the river, be carful about that. Also i wouldnt recommend feeding ducks bread but instead bird seeds, freshly picked lettuce, or seedless grapes.
Cool place! Has bison, multiple playgrounds, tons of trees, a tennis court, lots of land to wander & explore.
We used to attend family reunions here 65-70 years ago. Its nice to see some things havent changed while somethings have. I need to add the changes were improvements.
It was okay wouldve been alot better had everything not been closed due to covid
Great place to walk/run alone or with kids since it has a few animals to look at and has 2 playgrounds.
Has excellent trails tennis courts zoo swimming also many other things to enjoy
Beautiful park with nature and animals, along with picnic areas.
A great park in the middle of Elgin. It has a zoo! Seriously you can see bison, elk and deer year roundIt has a natural history museum that costs $2 a person and if your kids are working on their DuPage/Kane Passport it is free for them.Tennis courts, basketball courts, and beautiful lake with a classic pavilion for wedding rentals.There is so much to see and do here, you could spend days.Did I mention there is a pool too? No matter the season this is a great place to spend a day.
Its a zoo park... beautiful
Its a nice place to walk with children, everyone feeds the ducks. Bring whole grain bread, white bread is like feeding them glue. Also the little zoo there is great for the kids.
Visually its a very beautiful Park but the city of Elgin has to invest in cleanup efforts of goose dropping everywhere.
Great for family and friends and lots of space to keep Covid safe
This is a great place for enjoyed with your family.
Best park around!
Lords Park is Very Beautiful & Very Big. Where many, many people enjoy a morning/ evening or even during the day walk, jog, run in the Sunshine. Enjoying the Sunrise and the Sunset. Lots of people celebrate their birthdays, anniversaries and other occasions in this Park. The kids enjoys playing here. It a very nice park to spend a day outdoors. ♡☆☆☆☆☆♡
Nothing is open! its a good place to walk
Best park in town ..
Lots of cool stuff to do there! 2 very good playground areas, places to cook out. A lot of options for going for walks or jogging. Never been to the pool, but it looks very fun as well.
Beautiful place to take a nice walk
Gorgeous park.
Nice and beautiful park
Well kept park. Nice paths.
Grew up playing in that park left for 20yrs
My favorite park on Elgin
Interesting zoo for viewing, along with a small museum, walking and biking opportunities, play grounds, small water park, and pokemon go stoos and gyms.
Really chill place to being the kids. Has a little bit of everything.
Don’t feed the ducks bread feed them nutrient dense food like lettuce chopped or seedless grape sliced, peas corn and oats are also great as well as any type of birdseed.
Nice and relaxing time
The park is pretty big with a tennis court, basketball court, pavilions and a playground. The park also contains a bison zoo and a museum as well. I enjoyed seeing the gentle bisons up close and learning about bisons at the museum!
Lords Park is simply beautiful. It has everything local area families can ask for as well as visitors to the east side of Elgin. A beautiful and tranquil setting and just wait till you swim in the fabulous pool. You can easily spend an entire day and thoroughly enjoy your experience. I love Lords Park. So will you
I’ve been coming here as long as I can remember. I recently discovered how many turtles are here! And I cannot stop coming. The park is so big just walking around the whole thing you can get a good workout they have lots of things to do you won’t regret your visit
Great family fun or a nice place for a picnic or just walk around the lagoons you can feed these small animals in the zoo or the deer the Bison in the spring they also have a petting zoo for the children ice skating in the winter and many activities there is a big Museum on the property with all artifacts from Elgin.
Nice park. Beautiful trees. Id like to see it a bit cleaner and tables on the veranda.
Clean and relaxing
This is a nice park to walk around. Depending on the weather, you can see some animals in a mini zoo outside, including very pretty buffalos! In the summer there are also farm animals. And near the ponds in the park there are lots of geese and ducks hanging around. (watch where you are stepping!) During nicer weather, lots of people come here on weekends for cookouts and gatherings. There are tennis courts and basketball courts too.
Lords Park is a BEAUTIFUL park... perfect place to go when you need a breather. I love the landscape! Lords park also has a mini zoo as well as a water park
Nice quiet morning today
Great park for bringing the kids to play, walk and visit the animals that they have there. Its also a beautiful park to take professional pictures.
Great place but closing the whole park at 5 during summer is sad. 8 -830 still plenty daylight....i can see the zoo museum..but water park and the playgrounds and all the lawns picnic areas are wasted not being used and enjoyed
Nice and calm place, theres a playground and mini zoo is open during spring and summer, a lot of people also like playing in the water of the small stream. Its also a good place to go and walk or have a picnic....
This is such a beautiful place, and so versatile! Its wide wrap around porch is perfect for kids playing tag or anyone else who wants to stand outside and soak up the peace of the landscape.
Relaxing, beautiful, and tranquil!
Beautiful! clean and quiet mindset....
Beautiful, serene place. I always enjoy visiting the bison, deer, and elk when I’m there.
Very nice park to do jogging of spending weekend time with family. I love it!
The biggest and best park/zoo in Elgin!
Free! See the animals! Go to story time at the zoo! Walk around the lake! Play at the playgrounds! Watch the bison! Great for everyone, young and old!
Very nice
Great place to get some.time outside.
Beautiful place, but watch out for all the goose droppings
Its an awesome place they have wildlife gated in and you can see them touch them and feed them
This is a go to park in Elgin! They have a public swimming pool in the summer. They have two sets of tennis courts. They have a petting zoo and a pond and play areas for the children. Sand and walking paths and big large Open Fields. I love trying to spot the deer inside the petting zoo area thats fenced-off!
The museum is cool. Lots of things to do.
Fantastic! Better then ever, I hadnt been back to Lords park in about 10 years.
Big and beautiful. The time there will speak for itself. Pics will not do any justice.
Quiet, serene.
Great place to host parties. The view was beautiful.
Awesome, very nice place. How important it is to forget for a little while our daily routine, and comeback to be in touch with nature.
I always go there
I always have fun there. They have great staff that react fast if the waters bad. But they dont tell the kids to stop jumping into the water I understand when its like your doing the diving exercises because some kids are supposed to learn how to do that but not the whole lets run and jump in.
Love this place. Always have. Always will.
Never a dull moment when visiting this park. The lords park pool is open during summer so people can cool down and relax. Playground is suitable for kids of all age. Also check out the park zoo, not really big, but does offer various activities during the year and a few animals.
Amazing park. Perfectly planned and includes the most amenities that I have seen offered in a park. The most beautiful time to come here is in the fall where the falling leaves make it a perfect setting.
This is a very beautiful park with lots of activities and a zoo.
Good park lost of Room and swim in the park I like the place
Great park for pictures
Love this park, sometimes just go there to enjoy the quiet and nature.
Love this place
So fun to walk
I love this place. Only iasue is i seen a huge turtle stuck in the waterfall theres no way for him to get out.they need to put nets or a barrier so animals cant get stuck.
Gem of a park nestled within Elgin. A real great oasis with an interesting museum.
Kids had fun with the small dam in the creek.
Stay away after dark. Park close
