Plethora of parks
No matter in which subdivision you live, there’s probably a park nearby. “I live in the Dunmoor Estates subdivision, which is close to Northwest Community Park, which has a playground and open green space,” says Jackie Rogers, a Realtor with Keller Williams Infinity with nearly 30 years of experience. Northwest Community Park has changed its name to Tamarac Settlement Park. The subdivision of Grande Park has an outdoor aquatics center at the back of the subdivision’s clubhouse, which has a main room, a kitchen and a multi-purpose area. The pool has a large, main area that is good for lane swimming, a smaller pool and an even smaller kiddie pool. The attached Community Park at Grande Park has over 80 acres, a reservable picnic shelter with 13 tables, two tennis courts, a fishing retention lake and a playground. Another park is available for our four-legged friends. Daisy Dog Park has a small parking area off 135th Street and a latched gate where dogs can run, play and socialize. That is close to the Walker’s Grove subdivision.
Kids love the playground at Tamarack Settlement Park.

Water is another source of recreation
Eaton Preserve is not part of a subdivision. It’s on the DuPage River and used to be a farm site. There are still some farm buildings remaining. Amenities in the park include a boat launch, fishing and a volleyball court. If the weather’s nice on Saturdays and Sundays during the summer, people could enjoy the DuPage River on an inner tube. Plainfield River Tubing is a short drive to the south. Reservations are required. The tubing season runs from Memorial Day to just after Labor Day.
The DuPage River boarders the east side of North Plainfield.

Limited public transportation
The Pace bus line that serves Will County has only one stop in the Plainfield Area. That’s at the Plainfield Park-n-Ride off Van Dyke Road south of 143rd Street. The nearest Metra commuter rail station is 10 miles to the north in Naperville or 10 miles east in Lockport. Because of the limited options, the neighborhood’s residents are car-dependent.
Residents can use the nearby Naperville Metra to reach downtown Chicago in only 45 minutes.
The Pace Park and Ride allows residents to grab a Pace bus headed anywhere within Chicagoland.
