Birchwood Park

Park Features:

• 1 Playground
• 8.7 Acres

Birchwood park is located south of 71st Street between Walden Lane and Emerson Drive in the Farmingdale subdivision. This 8.7 acre neighborhood park features a playground. The path that winds through the park along the detention pond makes this park an ideal place for a relaxing walk.

Reminder of Darien Park District Pond Rules:

• No Swimming
• No Boating

In addition, in any body of water, harmful blue-green algae blooms are a common natural phenomenon. In Illinois, these natural harmful blooms typically occur June through September.

Due to this possibility, the following guidelines are strictly enforced for your safety:

• Keep dogs out of the water. Do not allow dogs to drink the pond water
• Do not come in contact with the water yourself
• Wash skin or fur that comes into contact with the water thoroughly as soon as possible
