Leased from the Metropolitan Sanitary District through the Village of Mount Prospect, this large park is in the far southeast portion of the Park District and completely outside of the Village of Arlington Heights boundaries. Four premier lighted softball and one soccer field are complimented by a playground and extensive paved walkway. The east half of this park is operated and maintained by the Mount Prospect Park District. Melas Park also has two sand volleyball courts; a picnic area and concession stand. It also has the District's largest quarter-acre playground with tot equipment that is colorful, sturdy and perfect for ages 1-3. A tubular climbing structure in the center has enough twists and turns to keep 5-12 year olds enthralled.

Softball diamonds and soccer fields are available by permit only.
