Great place to walk around. The paths are very well maintained!

A great place to relax and take a walk! The grounds are huge! There’s a lake, a forest, and picnic areas. There’s also a playground where kids can play! There’s a small lake there, and the kids have a blast playing there) We’re not residents, so we paid $3 to enter the kids’ area; if you’re a Schaumburg resident, you’ll pay $2! We’ll definitely be back!)

Great trails and so many ducks! Very clean and well-maintained park that has easy and picturesque trails for all activity levels.

Spring Valley has a Nature Center and also features the Heritage Farm. It’s really a neat place for a walk as you walk through a wooded area for about 5-7 minutes and then you see the farm houses with animal barns along with a few trails to follow. Spring Valley is a refuge of about 135 acres comprised of fields, forests, marshes, brooks and streams. Some trails are wood beamed while others are rocks and grass. It’s a really enjoyable place to spend a few hours by yourself, with friends and family. Parking and entrances to the park are available on both sides 1) off Schaumburg Road 2) off Plum Grove Road.

I've always loved this place. Much has changed since I was a child. These are photos from July 2024. I did not photograph the playground. There is a main playground at the entrance but due to crowds they limit time and charge for entry. There is plenty of fun to be had for free here though!
