Geography

Hopkins Park is located in southeastern Kankakee County. It is southeast of Kankakee, the county seat, and includes the former unincorporated community of Doney. Hopkins Park remains a rural, largely undeveloped community. Many of the roads are gravel, and a large portion of the population lives in an off-the-grid fashion. The town has very little to offer in terms of commerce and only recently did the area receive a gas pipeline. It has also been said that many of the residents, due to their off-the-grid lifestyle, were unable to be counted during the Census.

According to the 2010 census, Hopkins Park has a total area of 3.75sqmi, all land.[3]

Hopkins Park is located on the Pembroke Savanna.[4]
