James "Pate" Philip State Park

About James "Pate" Philip State Park

Farmland and grazing ground returned to prairie, marsh and young woodland on Chicago's far western edge, with a creek running through what were once tilled fields. The value is the open space itself, joined to Pratt's Wayne Woods to the south.
