Stone Fence Farm Park, Vernon Hills, IL

Stone Fence Farm Park in Vernon Hills spans 37 acres of former farmland that now includes a playground, three baseball fields, a soccer field, and a picnic shelter with grills. The park’s 1.2-mile asphalt loop trail connects to the regional Des Plaines River Trail, allowing residents to bicycle or jog for several miles without leaving pavement. A restored prairie section and small pond attract seasonal waterfowl and butterflies, while mature oak and hickory trees provide shade along the paths. The park is located less than a mile from the Vernon Hills Metra station and the Hawthorn Mall retail corridor, making it convenient for commuters and shoppers. Evening lighting on the athletic fields extends use into the cooler hours, and nearby restrooms and ample parking reduce the need to transport equipment from home.
