Merrill Park covers 19 acres in central Winnetka and provides residents with a full range of outdoor options. A 0.6-mile paved loop circles the park and connects to the North Shore Trail, allowing runners and cyclists to travel north or south without crossing busy streets. The park includes two lighted tennis courts, a basketball court, a playground with modern equipment, and an open athletic field used for youth soccer and lacrosse. A small pond attracts waterfowl and offers benches for quiet viewing. Picnic shelters with grills and restrooms are scattered along the path, and the shelter nearest Oak Street is wired for small events. Mature oak and maple trees shade most of the grounds, creating cooler temperatures on summer afternoons. Street parking surrounds the park, and it sits three blocks from the Metra Union Pacific North Line station and the retail corridor along Elm Street, giving homeowners easy access to commuting and daily errands.
Merrill Park currently has 2 single family homes for sale and 3 townhouses for sale. For anyone looking for a brand new home, there are 2 new construction homes for sale.
