So the playground is pretty awesome and do you know why? Because about 15 years ago the local…read moreresidents had massive fundraisers to help pay for a complete remodel. What you don't hear is that the same doesn't really happen in the rest of the City of Chicago. Taxpayer dollars are poured into parks in areas where the taxbase is small. Anyway I digress. So the playground is nice. The pool is disgusting. The baseball diamonds are pathetic. There are signs indicating that the diamonds are reserved for Mt Greenwood Park Baseball. I feel bad for the kids that play there. The fields are so torn up that grounders will inevitably take out someone's eye. I think the fields in third world nations are better than these. Bike/jogging path is nice.

We loved it so, Definity to recommend with 5 stars . More pictures next time lol

This is another of Orland Park's wonderful neighborhood parks ... this one on Red Oak Lane in the…read moreIshnala neighborhood. This park has roughly 3 1/2 acres of land and includes facilities for children and adults. It includes a pavilion for cooking out, a basketball Court, room for practicing your golf swing, horseshoes, and a nice playground. This park has two sets of playground equipment for children ... one each for the different age groups. There are also fenced-in tennis courts for those that play that sport, and the courts have the added attraction of being lined out for pickleball games. This is a great park for all to use ... and it is close by in the neighborhood. Try it ...

FANTASTIC! That is the best word for Alsip Park District…read more I worked here one summer as a seasonal employee and it was by far my favorite day camp experience. Kids have a LOT of fun here. Plus there are plenty of field trips and special camp visitors. Please patronize this park district! I love it.

I went to the concession stand to get something to eat and drink. I got a pizza, nachos and a large drink. The nacho chips were stale and there wasn't enough cheese to use on all of the chips. The jalapeño slices were diced and doesn't work as well. The movie was played in a good amount of open space. We still were able to hear the movie but the people jumping off of the diving board were still a distraction. I had to show my ID to prove I was an Alsip resident. So they didn't allow just anyone in. Overall it's was a good night.

This gem is about 45-50 minutes outside of the city (depending on traffic and where you're…read morelocated). The stairs are a great workout! I wish more places had something similar! Bring a water bottle! I saw only 1 fountain (old rusty manual hand-pump one) that was about a 10 minute walk on the yellow trail by the stairs. Not even sure if it works! There are a lot of trees (which is surprising since most trails I've been to in the Chicagoland area is pretty sparse)! Watch out for horse poop! Apparently, these trails are shared with bikers, pedestrians, and equestrians!

Can I get a w00t w00t for Forest Preserves?! The Sag Valley Trail System in Palos Park is a great…read moresystem of forest preserves that one can use for hiking, biking, running, horse riding, and of course throwing a stone soul picnic. We decided to grab our mountain bikes for some early spring trail riding. Plenty of people out and about enjoying the trails, and even an equestrian or two. (Watch out for road apples!) The trails are clearly marked but do yourself a favor and print out a color copy of the trail map or you might take a wrong turn at Albuquerque and wind up doing a loop twice. Trails were well-groomed albeit somewhat muddy in spring, there is definitely some degree of difficulty of steep uphill and fast downhill riding, so be prepared to get a workout. There's an old toboggan slide that we decided to carry our bikes up to shorten our ride. This hill makes Rocky's jog up the Philadelphia Institute of Art stairs seem like child's play! And there was a high school wrestling team taking advantage of it for workouts. It's a Vision Quest! I can't wait to do this again in summer when there is full greenery. This is an incredibly peaceful Oak Savannah, with many oaks and the occasional fir, and we had four deer run across the trail 20 yards ahead of us at one point. The Sag Valley Trail System in Palos Park is only a 45-minute drive from the city center, so rack up those bikes and surrey down! You won't regret it!

Don't feed them, and pet them at your own risk. This park also has its own garden. Full of peppers and cucumbers and eggplant. They also have their own being a sanctuary for making honey. When they harvest they bring it to the farmers market on Thursdays between 7 AM and 1 PM. This park also has its own pond with the fountain and a sidewalk that goes all the way around for a walking path. This park also has frisbee golf. This park also has dog parks this park also has a driving range. This is all one block from my house. Oh my goodness, I am almost forgot, they have a stage too. I believe this year they're also going to host movies in the park. I'm very excited for this summer and what the park has to offer.
