Hupp Park

Hupp Park, located in Aurora, Illinois, is a 47.2-acre recreational area that offers diverse amenities for sports enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. It is home to Hupp Skate Park, positioned at the corner of Illinois Avenue and Orchard Road, an environment specifically designed for skateboarding, roller skating, and biking. This skate park features quarter pipes, handrails, ramps, and other elements that allow visitors to practice and refine their skating skills. It is structured to ensure safety and efficiency in use, with guidelines preventing simultaneous use by skaters and bikers due to insurance regulations.

In addition to the skateboarding facilities, Hupp Park is also a popular destination for pickleball players. It hosts eight dedicated outdoor pickleball courts with permanent lines and nets, making it an excellent location for players of all skill levels. The courts are free to use, and they cater to the growing community of pickleball enthusiasts in the area.

The lush greenery and serene atmosphere of the park make it a tranquil space for walking and relaxation. Some recent upgrades include water service with backflow prevention for a water fountain and the installation of four park benches, providing visitors with comfortable spots to rest and enjoy the surroundings. Hupp Park continues to be an integral part of the community, aligning with the Fox Valley Park District's commitment to offering versatile recreational spaces.
