Things are a little more peaceful in Des Plaines proper, where there are some gorgeous public parks brimming with facilities like a boating lake, executive golf course and a wonderful summer water park.
A northwestern suburb of Chicago, Des Plaines sits directly north of O’Hare International Airport and west of the namesake river.īeing close to the airport puts Des Plaines near the convergence of Interstates 90 and 294, and within touching distance of a raft of major sports, shopping and entertainment venues.
