This review is specific to the pool, and family swim…read more Eisenhower should consider retraining their janitorial staff, or coming up with a specific cleaning regiment. I know Eisenhower has janitors, but I've never seen them do anything besides run a mop over the floor. To maintain a clean healthy place to swim, I would highly recommend the following * Clean the lockers (aerosol cleaner and wipe down) once a week. * Water vacuum the hot tub. There is sand and soot on the bottom of the hot tub that gets stirred up Everytime the jets are turned on. * Use clear silicon caulk to adhere the loose metal rings, around the shower heads, to the tile shower wall. * Clean the glass in the pool area, sauna, and locker room with Windex at least once a week (locker room should be done daily). * Pull the rubber mats out of the sauna and clean the sauna floor once a week. * Rub the cedar wood, in the sauna, down with teak oil, or similar natural protectant, yearly. * Use a natural bristle pool brush to scrub the walls of the pool. This will scrub off the algae and keep the pool water looking blue instead of greenish-blue. * Pressure wash, or buy a pool Zamboni and clean the pool deck nightly. Don't simply use a mop... This just pushes the bacteria around. The reason I'm going through the effort to write all of this is because I like Eisenhower. Unfortunately, year over year, I'm watching the facility deteriorate. Without regular maintenance, I'm not sure how much longer this community resource will be in operation. Lastly, I would highly recommend extending family swim nights from one night a week to three nights a week. People love family swim, and I very seldom ever see anyone swimming laps on other evenings. Yearly passes are pretty expensive, so family swim night is a great, inexpensive, way for parents to get their kids out of the house; and I am sure it is a great source of revenue for the Park District. Who doesn't like making money?! It's a win win for families and the park district.

I recently encountered a problem when trying to sign my daughter up for swim lessons. The…read morereceptionist is so rude and will talk over you if you have any questions. We last took swim lessons at lan oak in 2019. Due to swim classes being in high demand we sometimes have to find other places to take them on top of that the pandemic shut most classes down. I was told that my daughter would have to start from the class she last attended with them (which was preschool... she'll be 7yrs old in 2months) When I asked if they would assess/test her skills to find the proper class I was rudely told "no" and when I asked if I could call the swim/aquatics supervisor to confirm I was told "THIS IS THE CALL"... idk if this is some sad attempt to get more money out of people by putting a child that has pool experience in a beginners class or if they're too lazy to test the kids. Whatever the case the receptionist is out of line and needs to learn how to interact/communicate with customers.

We were made to think that is was…read moreschool sponsored we were wrong the kids were supposed to have a school id to get it that fell out the window pretty fast. Older boys were allowed in and there was inappropriate and unwanted groping being done to 6th graders by high school aged boys. My daughter called us upset and hiding with other young girls in the bathroom. Younger kids cell phones stolen a young girls arm was broken due to slipping on water the older boys threw on the floor. My wife picked up my daughter and I called the police. As I was talking to the supervisor on duty he asked me to hold on as other calls were coming in about this situation. My daughter was so excited for this dance and came home crushed this happened. This establishment was ran by 9th grade aged kids that night and it shows. No or very limited adult supervision and I use adult lightly due to what happened. As of now we know one boy was arrested for groping young ladies. This is a community center a place kids should feel safe and they failed miserably.

Additionally, on a day we had to be there, they couldn't be bothered to plow the parking lot leading to people parking in 2 spaces exacerbating their limited parking.

Saw multiple seniors slipping due to the egregious lack of maintenance during a tournament that people are charged in excess of 15$ a day for the 'privilege' to attend.

Indiana Dunes State Park was the first stop on my road trip across America, and unfortunately, it…read morewas a pretty disappointing experience. I came here really excited and ready to hike, but visiting in the summertime meant dealing with an unbelievable number of mosquitoes. I expected bugs, but I have never seen anything like this! My friend and I were completely covered in mosquito repellent, and it honestly felt like we were walking through a fog of mosquitoes. We were literally trying to run down the trail to get away from them. There was hardly anyone else around, which we quickly understood because the conditions were so difficult. We kept going for about 20 minutes hoping the bugs would eventually clear up, but they never did, so unfortunately, we had to turn around. The beach itself was nice, but I didn't come here for the beach I came to hike and experience the trails. I was really disappointed that we couldn't actually enjoy the hike because of the mosquitoes. Maybe it would be a completely different experience at another time of year, but based on our summer visit, I can only give it

Beaches are beautiful and water is cold early in the season. The day I went there was a high wave advisory so they didn't let people in the water. Best views of the lake are from observation tower located west of the pavilion. Waves are loud if the wind is blowing from the north. You can see the City of Chicago skyline from anywhere on the beach when it is clear weather conditions. No pets on the beach and it does tend to get crowded when the weather is nice. Walking/hiking paths are available and some go the the highest points in the park where the views are breathtaking.

York Woods is a nice little escape from all the busy streets that surround it…read more It's in a little hidden area just west of York Road. In fact, right across the road you'll find an entrance to the I88 toll road. Once you enter the parking lot, there is a large grassy area with several picnic tables. To the right, you'll see the underpass for the bike path. If you're looking for a short walk, you can just walk around the open grassy area. The path circles around it. It's a nice little picnic area if you want to stop for a quick lunch break or just sit and relax. On the left side of the circle path, there is a large covered pavilion with picnic tables. On my recent trip, I saw about a dozen deer! The restrooms are next to the pavilion. They are fancy port-a-potties that do not flush and kept quite clean. Near the entrance to the wooded part of Salt Creek trail, there is a stand that has information about when York Woods was first acquired. Here's a quick blurb from it incase you can't read the sign in my photo. "York Woods, DuPage County's first forest preserve. The 1917 purchase marked the start of efforts to protect land for the "pleasure and recreation" of county residents. And the county bought it to build a road." This is a really nice park. Although, I prefer some of the other parks along the Salt Creek Trail simply because they are actually on the creek.

There is a second floor that reached all around the main floor, where you can view from the top or bring your own folding chair and watch from above. There is a cafe up there also allowing you to purchase food and drinks and watch the games below. There are bleacher seats all along the main floor where you can sit and watch also. Plenty of parking in front and there are a few restaurants across the street from here but you can't bring any food in as they want you to buy within. I recommend this center.

The coaches/staff members are very good with the kids and keep them engaged from beginning to end. The gym is clean and organized. It's one big gym, so they have different age groups and skill level groups all practicing at the same time, but they keep things moving so no class collides with another. Prices for the classes are pretty typical in cost and the classes, especially weekends do fill up very quickly. When registration opens it's wise to sign up that day, because putting it off could possibly leave you with a "class filled." If there is one thing they need to address and rectify it's the horrid smell of feet that reeks from the gymnasium when the door is opened. I mean I get this is a gymnastics gym and all of the 50 plus people in one area at the same time are shoe less, BUT that does not mean it should smell as it does! I mean they seriously need to invest in some commercial deodorizers or something! Where you have large dispensers on automatic spray timers because every time they open that door to the gymnasium my nose threatens to leave me!!
