WESTERN SPRINGS

Incorporated in 1886, Western Springs received its name from the water of its clear,
cool springs which inspired the name of its largest park, Spring Rock Park. Western
Springs has evolved into a quaint village with beautiful homes on various sized lots. The
downtown area of Western Springs is a thriving mix of retail, commercial, and serves
as a gathering place. School District 101 serves Village residents and some residents
of Hinsdale and includes three elementary schools and one middle school. School
District 106 is a combined elementary and middle school campus and serves some
of the Village residents. Lyons Township High School’s South Campus is located in
the Village and serves the freshman and sophomore classes, while the North Campus
serves the juniors and seniors classes and is located in nearby La Grange. The Western
Springs Park District owns more than 90 acres of land in 13 parks.
