Upton Park in Waukegan provides a neighborhood green space with play opportunities and a historic residential setting.

Community activities connect the park with the surrounding North Genesee Street area.
The photograph shows the actual park during an earlier period. Play equipment and other facilities have changed, so consult current park district information before planning around a particular feature. The historic house has access arrangements separate from the public park, and an outdoor visit does not include an interior tour. Follow posted notices and check the calendar for organized events rather than assuming a previously advertised program runs every day.
