Stony Ridge Park, Lansing, IL

Stony Ridge Park sits on 32 acres of rolling terrain in south Lansing, bordered by Stony Ridge Road and the Calumet Union Drainage Ditch. Two connected loops of crushed-stone trail total 1.8 miles and wind past native prairie plantings and a small pond that attracts migratory waterfowl. A playground with composite equipment, two full-size baseball diamonds, and four lighted tennis courts occupy the western section, while the eastern half remains largely wooded with a picnic shelter and restrooms. The park connects directly to the Old Plank Road Trail, allowing cyclists and runners to reach the 130-mile network that extends into Indiana. Its location places residents within a five-minute drive of the I-80/294 interchange and the shops along Torrence Avenue, yet the tree cover and elevation changes buffer interior spaces from road noise.
