La Grange Park is so charming, it looks like it's straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting, with its tree-lined streets, family atmosphere and front-porched historic homes. The village is conveniently located just 13 miles from Chicago and lies next to La Grange, but you’ll want to stay put once you get there because La Grange Park is a slice of small-town heaven.
Once a farm town, La Grange Park has more than 110 businesses and restaurants, including Bill’s Place, a must-visit destination for people looking for broasted chicken or an authentic Italian beef sandwich. And you have to go to La Grange Park Antique Mall, an absolute treasure trove of one-of-a-kind vintage and antique finds.
La Grange Park still has plenty of green spaces too! Forest preserves border the village on three sides, while the Community Park District of La Grange Park oversees 24 acres of parkland, on top of its excellent and widely varied programming. La Grange Park has prime access to the Salt Creek Trail, a perfect spot for all ages to explore nature, ride bikes, go walking, bird watch and unplug.
The village is a great place for green thumbs, as well as those who prefer to buy flowers rather than plant them. Phillip’s Flowers & Gifts is a premier florist in the Chicago area offering arrangements for all manner of occasions, as well as indoor, tropical and houseplants. But if you’re looking to get your hands dirty, you’ll find all you need and more to keep your garden looking gorgeous at La Grange Park Ace Hardware, which is truly a gardener’s paradise!
Keep the good times going with a trip to La Grange Park.
