Crow Island Park Is Rich In History


Crow Island Park is the second largest park (17.91 acres)in the Winnetka Park District. It's a wonderful place for picnics, nature walks and family gatherings. Thanks to the Winnetka Parks Foundation, Crow Island Park is home to the "Friendship Circle", a permanent fire pit for large bonfires.

Crow Island Park is also home to the Winnetka Historical Society's Schmidt-Burnham Log House, built circa 1837 and was relocated to the site in 2003. To read more visit the Historical Society's website at http://winnetkahistory.org/.

This park is a wonderful stop on any bike tour. Until next time, keep riding.
