The varied and beautiful outdoor recreation of Ray Lake
Ray Lake Forest Preserve spans across 1,163 acres of the neighborhood’s southeastern side. Three wetland areas and forests full of oaks, hickories and cherry trees can be found surrounding the preserve’s namesake lake. Visitors can meander along the 2-mile gravel path, ideal for hiking, biking, horseback riding and, in the winter months, cross-country skiing. Driving 4 miles west will take locals to Stonewall Orchard Golf Club, home to a verdant 18-hole course designed by Arthur Hills, who was named the world’s second-best course designer in 1998 by Golf World Magazine. Parents can take their kids to play on the playground at Sedgebrook Park, where they will also find tennis courts, picnic tables and a basketball court.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
