Fun park, lots of baseball diamonds, soccer fields, and a basketball court. Be sure to hike up to Mt Trashmore to get a great view of the city.
Nice park. But they need to do a better job with the park bathrooms.
Great enjoyment while practicing social distance.
Softball ,/ baseball fields are in excellent condition though the fields are small for a mens softball league. There is a field house with restrooms that are well-maintained and clean and the parking lot is quite large. This complex attracts family-friendly nice crowd and also a crowd that place pick up games of soccer.
It is beautiful place with hills and woods.I love the park.
We had a great time here.
I went there on Fathers Day. Lots of people grilling for day. Park was not taped off. Few kids in park. Then after 2 kids started off playing in park more came. About 10 kids in park after spending an hour in park. According to Mayor Lightfoot of Chicago parks are not open and equipment has not been disinfected yet. So use your own judgement when letting your kids play. James park is in Evanston.
This is a nice clean place to have family fun, the park is huge & well maintained.
Love the hill..lots of open fields. Never crowded
Its a nice park. Not dirty or dangerous. Kind of a sporting park.
Nice playground, lot and street parking, nice walking trail. Big hill for kids to climb. Safe area
Really nice place to have a cookout & relax
Great open spaces!
Well maintained city park, baseball, soccer, tennis
Everyone was adequately far away from each other
Nice park for kids
Community park with six tennis courts without lights. Courts are exposed to the wind from south. In the back multiple soccer fields with a lot of traffic on weekends. There is a pretty large hill on the southwest side that can be used for cardio training. Walk or run up or down, vertical height probably around 50-80 ft.
Huge park, plenty of sports fields and space
Lots of fun..
Great park, lots to do, good batting practice cage. Have played baseball, soccer and launched rockets here.
My dog and I enjoyed walking through the park.
Only ever really went around the track. Great for running around. Lots of open space for soccer, baseball, community get together events over all a great park.
Been coming here since 1987
Enjoyed a beautiful, sunny afternoon just walking through a quiet, neighborhood park.
Easy to get to, great parking, bathrooms.... wonderful place to spend an afternoon with the family.
Great park to visit during the seasons.
Celebrated Jamaican Independence. Enjoyed the music and great food.
I cant believe how much trash (specially broken glass bottles) are spread on the hill towards the sledge area. All that hill in any path you take to go up or down. Be super careful if you have a dog. I so hate when people (and park authorities) cant keep clean a public place.
Nice park with extensive baseball fields and very large soccer fields with a playground and basketball court and a track where you can run and walk.
Enjoy every minute while there.
Good for a work out. The hill is very steep
Good park
.An Outstanding Park Located In Evanston Illinois
Nice and clean
Nice time at Jamaica Independence
James park is a much used public space in Evanson. It has vast open flat fields groomed for soccer, and some very nice baseball diamonds, so if you are there for an organized sporting event its great. If you bring kids to play in the playground area, I found it was full of trash, and the equipment is very limited. As parks on the Northshore go, this one has few trees and is just not pleasant.
Its all about family and friends.
Great park for hanging out
Nice place to visit to... always clean and people look happy here
I had a lot of work to do there today
A fun pllark to visit with the kids
Great park and has small hills for sledding when it snows. Be careful since a few people have been hurt sledding.
Very nice park.
I had my church picnic here and we had an amazing time, bring your chairs plenty of trees for shade
The field and the lights. The way to get to the fields is a little confusing and the bleachers on the visitors side do not allow good viewing of the field
We had a blast a pleasant little get away for the family.
Good service
Nice place for bbq, picnics, and family fun, but doesnt seem to be safe at nights
Great place, environmentaly friendly, build a great physique. Used to do toboggan slides here as a youth. Mount trashmore is a landfill turned rec area in winter. Perfectly manicured fields. Safe place for kids. Athletes who want to step up game can practice.
This park is huge! It has five or more base ball fields three or more soccer fields, 3 hugs mountain to climb up to get a great view of the Chicago skyline! A beautiful park for the lil one to play. A small sandbox. Parking, a basketball court. A one and a half mile jogging track. I could go on and on. This park is the best in Evanston!
Great place for the community. Young or old.
Very good park for wide range of team activities. It has a wonderful community garden for Evanston citizens.
Nice place to walk or run with a steep hill.
Baseball!
Nice
Great park for the kiddies to play
The E-Fam Evanston Picnic was awesome! Great people and food! !!!!
I love this Park
Very nice park bathrooms clean and lots of parking.
Tennis courts could use some maintenance (slippery sandy surface in spots) and resurfacing, but otherwise are good courts
Very clean lots of playing room
An awesome park! It is really there for everyone. It has a path all around for jogfing biking and even walking. There are 4 baseball feilds, and 2 soccer feilds. And 1 giant hill great for just about anything you do on a hill.
Plenty of space and parking for games!
Great fun, but people need to move to the side when they sled down.
Very good
Very nice place to hang out with friends in the evening
Every year for the JAMAICAN INDEPENDENCE ITS A WELL WORTH ITS EXPERIENCE. BIG UP YUSELF
