Western Acres includes a regulation 9-hole - 3,016 yard course that resides outside of the Park District boundaries but still within the Village of Lombard. Major course improvements in 1985 included an automatic irrigation system and the construction of additional water hazards. These improvements enhanced the beauty and challenge of the course. An additional 40 acres north of the course were purchased later with hopes of future development opportunities. Four Seasons is the home to the Lombard Log Cabin, an authentic cabin built as Lombard's Bicentennial Project and donated to the District in 1976. Since the 1970s the Park District as acquired and leased more properties to bring its park property total to 17 parks, 2 natural areas, and the 9-hole golf course known as Western Acres. Today the Lombard Park District consists of about 450 acres of land, including the world-renowned 8.5 acre horticultural showcase of Lilacia Park.
