Hoffman Estates trades the bass-pumping nightlife of the city for restorative nature. South Ridge Park is one of Hoffman Estates’ many municipal green spaces—in a major redevelopment plan, the park will add a 4,000 square foot splash pad to cool off during the summer heat as well as an open-air shelter, fitness equipment, and a playground. The Paul Douglas Forest Preserve is a beautiful expanse of countryside that has been preserved to maintain its natural beauty. This 1,800-acre woodland area is ideal for birdwatching and bike rides, with 7.2 miles of trails coursing through the wetlands and the woods.
