Two Back-to-Back SouthWest Service Stops
Metra's SouthWest Service has 13 stations between Union Station and Manhattan. Two of them serve this area back to back: Palos Heights station at 11451 Southwest Highway and, one stop farther out, Palos Park station at 123rd Street and 82nd Avenue. Metra lists every station on the line as accessible. Those stops matter if you commute downtown; for training they do not, because your coach drives to your home with the equipment the session needs.
Houses, Townhomes and Three-Flats
Roughly six in ten homes are detached houses and a little over a fifth are townhomes or attached units, according to CMAP's June 2026 snapshot, with almost 10 percent in three- and four-unit buildings. The housing is also newer than the county norm: a median year built of 1976, against 1961 for Cook County. About 93 percent of homes are owner-occupied. Whether you have a basement, a garage or one open room, your coach plans the session around that space and brings what it calls for.
Lake Katherine, the Cal-Sag Trail and the Swallow Cliff Stairs
The city owns and supports Lake Katherine Nature Center and Botanic Gardens, an 85-acre park at 7402 W. Lake Katherine Drive built around a 10-acre lake and open daily from dawn until dusk. It doubles as an access point for the paved Cal-Sag Trail, which the Forest Preserves of Cook County route through Palos Heights and keep open year round from sunrise to sunset. For a tougher day, Swallow Cliff Woods near Palos Park has 125 limestone stairs up a former toboggan run, plus a second set of 168 steps added in 2016 to complete a circuit. Your trainer can turn any of them into a session.
