Park Ridge is the name of several locations:

Park Ridge is a Chicago suburb with a population at the 2010 census of 37,480 residents. It is located 15 miles (24 km) northwest of downtown Chicago. It is close to O'Hare International Airport, major expressways, and rail transportation. It is a part of the Chicago metropolitan area, bordering two northwestern neighborhoods of Chicago's Far North Side (Edison Park and Norwood Park).
As its name suggests, Park Ridge lies on a ridge. The soil is abundant with clay deposits, which made it a brick-making center for the developing city of Chicago. Park Ridge was originally called Pennyville to honor George Penny, the businessman who owned the local brickyard along with Robert Meacham. Later it was named Brickton. The Des Plaines River divides Park Ridge from neighboring Des Plaines, which is west of Park Ridge. Chicago is south and east of Park Ridge, and Niles and unincorporated Maine Township are to its north.
Park Ridge is the hometown of former First Lady and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. When she visited Park Ridge on the occasion of her 50th birthday in 1997, the city renamed the southeast corner of the intersection of Elm and Wisner streets, next to her girlhood home, "Rodham Corner". Park Ridge is also the hometown of movie stars Carrie Snodgrass and Harrison Ford. All three attended Maine Township High School East. Mrs. Clinton, the youngest of the three, spent her senior year at Maine Township High School South, a new school built to accommodate the population of baby boomers coming through at the time.
A park is an area of natural, semi-natural, or planted space set aside for human enjoyment and recreation or for the protection of wildlife or natural habitats. It may consist of grassy areas, rocks, soil, and trees, but may also contain buildings and other artifacts such as monuments, fountains or playground structures. In North America, many parks have fields for playing sports such as soccer, baseball and football, and paved areas for games such as basketball. Many parks have trails for walking, biking and other activities. Some parks are built adjacent to bodies of water or watercourses, and these parks may comprise a beach or boat dock area. Often, the smallest parks are in urban areas, where a park may take up only a city block or less. Urban parks often have benches for sitting and they may contain picnic tables and barbecue grills. Parks have differing rules regarding whether dogs can be brought into the park: some parks prohibit dogs; some parks allow them with restrictions (e.g., use of a leash); and some parks, which may be called "dog parks," permit dogs to run off-leash.
A ridge or mountain ridge is a geological feature consisting of a chain of mountains or hills that form a continuous elevated crest for some distance. Ridges are usually termed hills or mountains as well, depending on size. There are several main types of ridges:-

Train 1: Train #649 is slightly late, having arrived on Track 3 as its load of evening commuters stream out into the town. As it departs, the "ridge" in Park Ridge's name is clearly visible- the tracks pass over this hump, below which is Touhy Avenue. Train 2: Cabcar #8456 leads 5 other bilevels on inbound train #656, arriving on Track 1. Pushing is F40PH-2 #171, the "Norwood Park" (a village which, incidentally, is two stops down the line from here). The signal past the station drops to red as train 656 occupies the next block. This train is unusual in that it is the only express that runs in the afternoon, operating from Barrington, skipping Palatine, then stopping at Arlington Park, then only stopping at Des Plaines, Park Ridge, Jefferson Park, Irving Park and Clybourn before arriv...

Back before the Pace Bus System came into being in the Chicago area suburbs, there were a number of private city bus systems that existed. One of these transit companies familiar to those living in the northwestern and northern suburbs such as Park Ridge, Des Plaines and Skokie was United Motor Coach. Here are a number of shots, filmed on 8 mm in 1975, of United Motor Coach's yellow over blue 1950's General Motors buses that at this time were being operated by the transit agency, Nortran. First we start with a shot of a bus turning from Thorndale, in Park Ridge, northbound onto the Chicago side of Canfield Ave. The next shot is an interior shot as the bus travels westward on Higgins Rd in Park Ridge just west of Canfield. Finally we end up with United Motor Coach's buses bringing st...
