Ritter Park

For many years Ritter Park has been considered the Crown Jewel of the Park District. The Park’s 75 acres and numerous amenities contributed to it being designated one of the top ten “Best Public Spaces in America” by the American Planning Association in 2012.  Ritter Park is known for its walking path with crushed limestone loop that encourages health as many walkers, joggers, dog walkers and bicyclists share the multi-purpose pathway. Another favorite at Ritter Park is the award winning Rose Garden and the Room With A View. With over 3000 roses, many of which are historic AARS winners, the Ritter Park Rose Garden is a top choice for June weddings and events throughout the season.
