Lexington Woods Park, Grayslake, IL

Lexington Woods Park occupies 22 acres of rolling terrain in the Grayslake Park District, anchored by a 2.3-mile crushed-granite loop trail that connects directly to the Des Plaines River Trail system. The main entrance on Washington Street features a 16-space parking lot, restrooms, drinking fountains, and a picnic shelter equipped with grills. A playground with modular climbing structures sits adjacent to two full-size basketball courts and a sand volleyball area. East of the shelter, a small fishing pond is stocked annually by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, while the northern third of the property preserves a 6-acre oak-hickory woodland with interpretive signage along a 0.4-mile spur trail. The park is 0.8 miles from downtown Grayslake, where the Metra Union Pacific–North line provides weekday commuter service to Chicago. Nearby, Prairie Crossing Charter School and the Grayslake Area Public Library lie within a ten-minute walk, and commercial services along Route 83 are reachable in under five minutes by car.
