Rosewood Park is a historic park on Roger Williams Avenue in Highland Park, Illinois. The park is the former site of the Julius Rosenwald Estate, which was built circa 1910 for businessman Julius Rosenwald. Landscape architect Jens Jensen designed the estate's grounds, which he also used as a studio; these became the modern park after the home's removal. The park includes a beach on Lake Michigan, the North Shore Sanitary District Tower (closed), an empty stone pool and artificial stream, and a walking path that leads to a bridge over a ravine. Jensen also planted wildflowers in the park, which still bloom annually in spring.The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 29, 1982.

Ravinia Park station

Ravinia Park is a seasonal station on Metra's Union Pacific North Line located in Highland Park, Illinois. The station serves the Ravinia Festival, and trains only stop at the Ravinia Park station during concert season. Ravinia Park is 20.9 miles (33.6 km) away from Ogilvie Transportation Center, the southern terminus of the Union Pacific North Line. In Metra's zone-based fare system, Ravinia Park is located in zone E. (Metra honors dated concert e-tickets as a train fare to Ravinia on concert days.) Ravinia Park has two side platforms which serve two tracks. Ravinia Park is the only seasonal station in the Metra system. As of 2022, during the summer, Ravinia Park is served by seven inbound trains and eight outbound trains on weekdays, by four inbound trains and eight outbound trains on Saturdays, and by four inbound trains and seven outbound trains on Sundays. (Extra train RAV1 is excluded from this tally.) Trains with a "" note on the timetable will wait longer at the station for passengers to load and unload. During events on weekends, an extra outbound train RAV-1 departs Ogilvie Transportation Center, makes all stops to Evanston Central Street, then runs express to Ravinia Park, where it terminates at 6:25 P.M. An inbound train returns to Chicago after the event ends. The Ravinia Park station was temporarily closed in 2020 due to the cancellation of all concerts for the Ravinia Festival in 2020 in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Service to Ravinia Park resumed in the summer of 2021.
