Elk Grove Park District

Again for the 3^rd time, first two was informed that day soccer was suppise to start. Nit enuf signed up. Askes to switch to basketball. Other no interest in bow and arrow. Now asked abt traveling baseball. Filled up! No info, nothing. Was told to register in January for 2017. Dept communications really not thorough.

once again i go to sign my son up for a sport and the customer service desk has no idea what is going on. they wonder why people are going to other park districts.

best parks are located in elk grove village receiving numerous yearly awards of all kinds… there are so many parks of all sizes and themes that no particular one gets crowded… well maintained and groomed… great places for all ages… the children’s playgrounds have up-​to-​date equipments… and the best part is there are no entry fees… free…

The EG park district is very well run. There are a wide variety of activities and services for people of all ages and really tries to connect the community.

The pavilion with the carousel and play area is awesome! We attended a birthday party for a 5 year old and it was perfect! Best party by far that we’ve been to. If we lived closer, we’d be partying it up here!

I read other persons comment I would love to see a dog park in Elk Grove as well. Elk Grove is the best place to live ever! =)

Kudos for offering two annual events for dogs: the Easter egg hunt and the Halloween trick or treat. Pirates Cove is a good location for these events. But we were promised a dog park years ago, and the village bailed on this right as they were about to open. C’mon Park District! You see by the popularity of these events that Elk Grove Village has many dog lovers!

The Pavilion is a real solid facility. Tons of things to do, very well kept, and the staff is always helpful. It’s not free, but it’s worth the money.
I frequent the upstairs fitness area with my brother when I’m out near his house. The cardio area is pretty expansive; probably 50 total bikes/​ellipicals/​treadmills. Most have TVs and iPod hookups.
The free weight area is good too. There is an entire room of Hammer Strength machines, which I’m a huge fan of. There aren’t a ton of benches, but as long as it’s not crazy busy, you shouldn’t have a problem finding one. Outside of the free weights, there are dozens of weight machines for everything from abs to glutes.
There is also an indoor track and several basketball/​volleyball/​badminton courts that usually have «open gym» hours. Over the last year or so, they remodeled one area to be a strength and physical therapy clinic, although I’ve never used it. They also have a private room for spin and exercise classes, but again, I don’t do that business.

I come from a place that we don’t have «Park Districts», or we might call them differently where I come from.
I found out about this place when my BF’s family threw a birthday party for their triplets in the Carousel location of the building. Though the area where the Carousel was held was small (there wasn’t easy access to tables and room), but the carousel was a nice «thing» to have. The kids enjoyed it which was what mattered the most since we were there for a birthday party. We also took advantage of the indoor playground set they had next door. That was truly a big hit with the kids as well.
I came back to this place when my BF was playing in a basketball league and they just so happened to have there games held here. The court area was small. This «area» had three courts in the same room and it was very small. Each time I walked in, it was muggy and smelled. C’mon people, it’s a basketball court that contained three courts with guys sweating. I couldn’t stand the smell so I would have to leave sometimes and watch the games from outside. WHoever invented the structure of these three basketball courts in one room being split by a fabric «wall» as well as an indoor track up top is crazyy!
Other than the congested smell of the basketball courts, I enjoyed the other aspects of the Pavilion that I have visited.
