Raceway Woods is a lovely 122 acre open space tract getting its name from the old race track that once wound around parts of it. The central core of the tract has a fine savannah and mesic woodland with steep banks where pocket seeps trickle down into a clear rippling brook that wanders through several pristine natural areas.
Dundee Park District owns significant portions of this land and the Forest Preserve District has parts of disturbed buffer area abutting the natural areas, but by a general understanding the Forest Preserve will manage the natural areas while the Park District will concentrate on the buffer parking, picnic and recreational portions of this combined open space.
