    Came here for a tournament last weekend and the facility is immaculate. Seems like a brand new…read moreplace with amazing volleyball courts, great spacing, and just bright all over. There's nothing more you can ask or expect of this place. I only hope they can keep it up because this place is a true gem! I came here for an event thinking the food has got to be expensive. Boy was I wrong! They had a 2 hot dog special, with two bags of chips, and two drinks for $8! what an absolute steal! I couldn't believe it with my own eyes I honestly had to do a double take. It really was $8. Oh get this, they were also jumbo dogs on the buns which is just unreal. My friend and I were blown away by how cheap the food was as well as our insatiable appetite. We ended up getting a salted pretzel with cheese and they're loaded nachos. The pretzel was a standard pretzel, what more could you ask for $3 with cheese. On the other hand, those nachos were delicious. They were your typical movie nachos with beef on top almost a mountain to be honest. Plus there was sour cream and I got two healthy packs of jalapenos to put on them. Yum! I can't remember for the life of me if there was cheese on them or not but I do not recall. I should've and will next time add cheese to it because I'm that extra. I mean, for me, cheese belongs on everything. All in all, my experience at the Hammond Sports Complex was nothing short of amazing. It was a lot of fun!

    Basketball stolen within the first 2 hours here. We've been to probably 100 tournaments and never…read morehad one thing stolen. Nothing. Come here to Hammond and a $150 basketball is gone. Stolen while our son was playing a game while their bags sat behind them. Us parents questioned why the other team was standing there, but didn't think they would steal. Won't recommend this place to other teams and def won't be back.

    I always picked Humboldt park over Wicker park any day. I used to look at the lagoon at night and…read morethink and reflect. I loved attending the Puerto Rican fests with friends. I enjoyed walking the park with snow on the ground.

    This Fieldhouse, along with the one in nearby Garfield Park is a "must visit" if you are at all…read moreinterested in Chicago history and architecture. As a community member, it's a "must visit" if you want to get involved with some cool local events and to check out what's going on in the neighborhood. If you are just interested in the fitness center, that's cool too. It's a long rectangular room that looks out over a lagoon and charges a monthly or an annual fee. When I first spotted this building against the dramatic clouds and bright blue sky yesterday, my spirit soared. I don't even care if that's silly talk because that's how enamored I was with the view. "What is this place?" I had to pull in the lot and go inside. What I found were crafty-colorful witches greeting me.... I roamed along to where some voices were coming from and before I knew it, I was standing in an "old-school" gym/basketball court/auditorium. The space looked out of "Dead Poet's Society" or so like that. I backed up toward the wall to take a photo and whoa!! radiant heat from the grate (looks original!) on the wall. I was wrapped in all kinds of warmth. Further wrapped figuratively, by the one lady employee who saw me marveling at this place. She began telling me all about the programs, the fitness center and you could tell she loved her job, the city of Chicago and the place she worked. Thank you, Chicago Park District for keeping this kind of gem alive and housing such awesome community spirit here. http://www.chicagoparkdistrict.com/parks/humboldtpark/ excerpt re: architecture: "In 1928, the West Park Commission contructed a fieldhouse in Humboldt Park. The structure was designed by architects Michaelsen and Rognstad, who were also responsible for other notable buildings including the Garfield Park Gold Dome Building, the Douglas and LaFolette Park Fieldhouses, and the On Leong Chinese Merchant's Association Building in Chinatown. In 1934, Humboldt Park became part of the Chicago Park District, when the city's 22 independent park commissions merged into a single citywide agency." (I'm learning why I love Paris so much...many nooks of Chicago were based on Parisian design: the Midway Plaisance in Hyde Park is another notable area: http://www.chicagoparkdistrict.com/parks/Midway-Plaisance-Park/ )
