★★★★★Cathy

Great park district! Gary Morava pool has incredible instructors and an awesome swim program. Very clean pool and strong presence of lifeguards. Really great camp program in summers and after school.

★★★★★Tim

Great little neighborhood gym. Have been coming here for 20 something years and it's kept its small welcoming community vibe to this day. If you're looking for state of the art facility you will be disappointed but if you want a nice community gym, this place has everything you need.

★★★Nancy Bredberg

Planning a family outing for 17 people x $7.00 and then seeing sign that the water slide was not being used due to lack of lifeguards. On top of that we were the only 10 people there (the other 7 bailed since no slide in use). Two of the kids immediately cut themselves on the sharp, rough bottom of the pool. They were then told they couldnt swim due to their bleeding abrasions. Not a great experience.

★★★★★Andriy Kalynchuk

Nice, clear, quiet. There are tennis courts, kids playground. You can spend some time with your 👪 family.

★★★★★Dan Diaz

It is such a peaceful park! I love the enclosed playground that lets kids explore in a safe zone. All the equipment is new and it's adjacent to the baseball field and tennis courts. My kids love coming to this park and the Prospect Heights Park District did a fantastic job renovating this area. There is plentiful parking and a very calm atmosphere that keeps everyone nice and relaxed. A hidden gem tucked behind the rec center! There are additional picnic tables to enjoy lunch and then transition into play.
