About Palos Park, Illinois

For the perfect complement to busy city life, see Palos Park. This community has yet to be touched by the industrial hand, with a bit of commercial development to be found on 123rd street. Located just 20 miles southwest of downtown Chicago, Palos Park is surrounded by the Cook County Forest Preserves on the north, west and south. With just 4,700 residents, this community provides an opportunity for neighbor-to-neighbor interaction.

In addition to the small community atmosphere, there is also plenty to do in the great outdoors! Recreational parks provide the opportunity to partake in outdoor sports while the community's several lakes, creeks and ponds offer an adequate outlet for all water lovers. This area truly is an oasis outside of the busy Windy City.
