Ravenswood Park is a wonderful forest reserve with trails through the woods and its maintained by the Trustees of the Reservation. A great spot to commune with nature. Its really quite beautiful--the trails are a nice variety. I saw people cross country skiing this past weekend, I saw people walking, lots of dogs were out and about enjoying the day--grabbing sticks, making friends, running around and jumping up on my jeans leaving muddy paw prints :)--photographers, speed walkers, mosey-ers, and even a toddler toddling down the trail. I brought my camera and loved seeing the melting ice and snow, the bare branches of the trees catching the light. It was just a beautiful nature walk with the quiet forest around us. There are trails for everyone--rolling trails, long trails, short trails, gravel trails (aka old Carriage trails), wide main trails, and more narrow bumpy-forest-y trails. There are beautiful vernal ponds to check out during the wet seasons--listen for the animals and bugs that surround them. The web site says there are 10 miles of trails to explore. My mom loves to watch birds and this park has a ton of them.

One of the better parks Ive ever been to, but with all dog parks its the type people that visit there that really make. 5 stars for being such a beautiful place -1 star for terrible dog owners that take the park for granted and feel the rules do not apply to them.

Great place. Not the Largest place like this but a lot of interesting features packed inside. It has a little something for everyone. Great for mountain biking hiking dog walking.

Beautiful nature preserve, well marked and maintained hiking trails, good for x-c ski and snowshoeing when theres sufficient snow cover.

A most accessible park in the Trustees system, we enjoy treks through boulder strewn forestlands with the dog.

Large area to explore. Our 2-year-old who likes "hiking" had a blast. Parking for about 12 cars.

Many well marked trails of varying difficulties. Family and dog friendly.
