That is just one part of acres of forest preserves with trails and the like... Garbage cans set up along the strip of the parking lot for sprints ... and the grass is 'not to hard, yet worn down by the horse trails that travel thru the area
It's really beautiful .. spend almost every day or so there last summer... too hard these days ...
Lemme see if I can find more pics Nelms... (i gotta go to the gym ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!)
***EDIT PICS ADDED***

View from the road
You can see garbage cans used as 'marks' for progressive sprinting
Stair quality is killer.. and NOT maintained... 110% focus at all times

***Along the lines of a a game of *chicken* ... last summer my Training Partner & I played the game of *trust* ... he went up these with me on his shouulders... OMG talk about adrenaline rush combined with fear ... You really have to trust someone to attempt that... & been off your rocker... ***
That's how it is right now, the weather, I LOVE IT, LOVE IT.. The leaves all turned & not fallen yet though... it's so pretty... we supposedly had flurries again last night but if the sun is out this weekend, I'm going to hit some stairs.
The trails through there are fantasic. I would make it a point to go there every morning but that area is VERY traffic ridden in the mornings and you cannot reply on the rangers to open the gates in time (sunrise). I would be intraffic an houron the way back. Too bad I can't start work at 10 or 11. I'd work until 6-7 and be happy with it since my days start so early and I like to be in bed before 10 pm.
