This is a great place. Great to send the kids. Especially the summer for summer programs for cheap. They have a swimming pool, park, lots of open space, tennis section, and even paths to walk around the park.

My son is 5 yrs old and I was told youth swim is for 6 to 12. I found that odd as nothing is posted there or online about that. I was told he had to swim at family time. My sons bed time is 8 so going there to swim from 615 to 7 is unrealistic. On sat open swim starting about 430. Question is why are 5 and under set to swim last and latest? The managers said it was at the decresion of the lifeguards since nothing is posted ANYWHERE. CAN SOMEONE MAKE THIS MAKE SINCE? Oh yea I should go to a hotel or buy a membership somewhere instead. If that's the case what is the point of the park district all together (deer, rabbits)? I forgot thats a different department.
