"The things that attracted us to Mettawa were the large lots (we dislike being 'on top of' our neighbors), quick access to major highways and the Metra, and lots of open lands and forest preserves to enjoy. I grew up in Riverwoods and it's hard to get used to more urban living when you're used to being surrounded by nature." – Lisa

701 Riverwoods Road

The 19 acre hay field on the east side of Riverwoods Road, between Route 60 and Everett Road was purchased by the Village in December 2013. The property is adjacent to a 5 acre parcel the Village has owned for many years. Annually the Village has contracted with a local farmer to harvest the hay for Village and area barns.

It is located as property #10 on the Parks, Trails and Open Space map.
