Riverside Township or Village
of Riverside?
Often the Village of Riverside and the Riverside Township
and the various services they provide get confused. The
historical building at 27 Riverside Road, where both the
Riverside Township and Village of Riverside have their
offices, is called Riverside Town Hall and is owned and
operated by Riverside Township. The Township represents
the residents of Riverside, North Riverside, Riverside Lawn,
Brookfield and Lyons. Township offices are located to the
left of the front entrance of 27 Riverside Road and their
office hours are 9:00AM to 3:00PM, Monday through Friday.
The following are some of the important services which the
Township provides:
Nurse’s Closet – short-term loan of durable medical
equipment (walkers, wheelchairs, canes, crutches, bath
benches, commodes, etc.). Donations of equipment are
welcome as well.
Food Pantry - offers non-perishable food to the residents in
need. Donations from the community help to keep the
pantry shelves fully stocked.
Handicapped Parking Placards – applications are available in
the Township office. The Township issues a TEMPORARY
placard once the application is completed. Applications for
permanent placards must be mailed to Springfield.
Reduced Fare Transit Card for Seniors– applications are
available at the Township office. Once the application is
completed, the office will take your photo and mail it in to
be processed.
