Where it is

How we built this page

Sherwood Forest has no published boundary, so we used the area within about 0.6 mile of Sherwood Forest Elementary on Yorkshire Road; the activity center and greenway details come from the West Suburban plan. School zones come from the city’s map layers, checked at evenly spaced points; confirm an address with the district. We found no public list of homeowners associations for Sherwood Forest, so this page does not describe them. No freely licensed street-level photo of the area was available, so the picture is a federal aerial image of it.
