Upper Watts Branch Park

Features

Upper Watts Branch Park is a 78.8-acre forest preserve located east of the Woodley Gardens neighborhood, west of the College Gardens neighborhood, south of West Gude Drive, and north of the Nelson Street and College Parkway intersection.

The park can be accessed from various locations throughout the connected neighborhoods, including a trail from the College Gardens neighborhood that follows the fence line at the bend in Princeton Place near its intersection with Fordham Street, and a trail from the Woodley Gardens neighborhood at the end of Azalea Drive.

The Watts Branch stream runs through the park from Nelson Street north to West Gude Drive. Nature trails that make up the Upper Watts Branch Trail connect the surrounding communities and extend south into Woodley Gardens Park. Dogs on a leash are welcome to join you for an adventure through the trails and woodlands!
