The Village of Willowbrook maintains ten community parks and points to nearby Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve for longer walks. Outdoor days bring a few predictable problems.
Ticks: the CDC says they are most active from April through September; shower within two hours and check behind the ears, under the arms, behind the knees and along the waistband. See tick bite care
Bee and wasp stings: a cool compress helps; come in if swelling keeps spreading after the first day
Poison ivy: an itchy, blistering rash a day or two after contact; wash skin and clothes soon after exposure
Scraped knees: press with clean cloth for 5 to 10 minutes, then wash gently with soap and water, as HealthyChildren.org advises
Willowbrook became a village on January 18, 1960, when a group of homeowners incorporated to guide how the surrounding farmland would be built, and its parks grew along with the neighborhoods. Whichever park you visit, pack water, sunscreen and a small first-aid kit with bandages and fine-tipped tweezers.

Urgent Care Center of Westmont goes by a second name, Immediate Care Center of Westmont, and its team is led by board-certified physicians. A clinician checks vital signs, asks what happened and examines your child, explaining each step. Some of our staff speak Spanish.
If a test will change the plan, we may do a rapid strep test, a flu or COVID-19 test, a urine test or an X-ray at the Cass Ave clinic. We then recommend treatment, which may include prescription medicine when appropriate, and list the signs to watch for. Ask for a school note if needed. See our pediatric urgent care page.
If your child is nervous, tell us at check-in. Younger children can often sit on a parent's or grandparent's lap for much of the exam, and a favorite toy or show on a phone helps too.
