With a playground, an indoor community center, and a baseball diamond, Kelly Park is a great place to spend the day with family or play a game of tennis with a friend.

Taking the walking trails around Lake Lorin will lead to the more modest Lake Ashbourne. Several “Tot Lots” are in this neighborhood, including Elm Place Tot Lot, which has colorful miniature playground equipment and a swing set.

The area I live in offers lots of places to either sit-in and eat or grab something on the go. There is a mix of casual family restaurants as well as classier date-night restaurants. One of my favorite places to go to is Fuji Japanese Steakhouse, where they serve oriental food at the hibachi grill.

As a current resident I would say as small as Orland Hills is, it is a close knit town. Most of the people in the area are nice as can be and get along well. During the summer time the party in the park that they host is the absolute best to go to and have fun!
