Kraml Park
Margot Wagner
One of Burr Ridge’s numerous parks, Kraml Park is probably the most relaxing and aesthetically pleasing in which to spend time. The park is over two acres of area, and the majority of that area is covered in pond. Of course, with the cold temperatures and recent wintry weather just behind us now, there is not much “wildlife� to observe; however, with spring slowly coming upon us, the pond will soon be teeming with the geese and ducks. Kraml is a wonderful outdoor area—it is located so close by, yet lets you feel as if you are relaxing far, far away. If you are looking for a calm place to spend a Sunday afternoon, look no further than Kraml Park in Burr Ridge.
Woods Pool

Woods Pool on Tomlin Drive is a very lively park area that offers a plethora of activities. With lit tennis courts, a playground for any little siblings, and picnic tables, there is definitely something for everyone at Woods. In addition, the swimming pool will be opening as soon as the weather warms up. The park has a very upbeat feel, and it is a perfect place to hang out, whether you are there for just half an hour, or even if you want to spend the whole afternoon there. As spring rolls around and you look for a fun and safe place to hang out, pay a visit to Woods Pool.
Burr Ridge Village Center
Margot Wagner
Located on the Village Center Drive is the Burr Ridge Village Center, Burr Ridge’s outdoor shopping strip. The entire mall is located outdoors, with clothing shops, boutiques, and small restaurants located all along a walkway. The Village Center is a nice place to go if you are looking for a quiet place to spend an afternoon with the family or friends. The shops in the center are all the chain stores we are familiar with like Bath and Body Works and Starbucks, but located in a quaint, slightly old-fashioned setting. The environment is very friendly, as most of the shoppers are families. This shopping center is a great way to get some shopping done while enjoying the fresh air of the outdoors, especially in the spring, summer, and fall.
