Relaxing Grant Park, IL

Residents of Grant Park find it amusing when visitors confuse their small village with Chicago's Grant Park. This serene, friendly, and growing community in northeastern Kankakee County is just seven miles from the Indiana state border and five miles south of Will County. The trip to Chicago is approximately 50 minutes to the north. Grant Park provides a wonderful escape to country pleasures and a slower pace, crowned by small-town intimacy and simple pleasures. Founded as an agricultural center, Grant Park is evolving into a charming and quaint community with a progressive attitude toward business. The historic architecture contrasts with newer construction for unique visual appeal in this village where neighbors tend to become life-long friends. Relaxing at the park, attending local events, and enjoying golf at nearby Minne Monesse Golf Course are all popular pastimes.
