Raceway Woods Forest Preserve

About

Raceway Woods is a 122-acre open space tract that got its name from the old Meadowdale International Raceway racetrack that once wound around parts of it. The central core of the tract has a fine savanna and mesic woodland with steep banks where pocket seeps trickle down into a clear rippling brook that wanders through several pristine natural areas.

Meadowdale International Raceways operated from September 1958 through 1968.

Raceway Woods amenities include bike and nature trails, historic sites, horseback riding, picnic areas, and shelters.
