About This Location

Merrill Pioneer Park in Algonquin spans 1.93 acres and is located at 1250 Getzelman Terrace. This small neighborhood park offers a peaceful setting with a picnic shelter, two playgrounds, a basketball court, benches, and pathways. The park holds historical significance, as it was once home to a natural spring that provided water to the Village.

The Village of Algonquin received an Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) grant in 1998 from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) to help develop this park facility.

Please note that the park operates from dawn to dusk, and actual opening and closing times may vary slightly based on the time of year.
