    This park is totally lovely. I was here last weekend while in town visiting my family. My boyfriend…read moreand I took my niece and nephew to Reed-Keppler along with my two sisters. It was a pretty hot day, but one of the nicest things is that the park is primarily in the shade. There are two main playgrounds right next to each other. There is also a baseball field, soccer field, dog park, picnic table/pavilion area, and more! The entire park is really quite large. We were just at the two parks which were perfect for the kids (ages 1.5 and 4).

    If you need a good spot for a family picnic or outdoor party, this park has plenty of room & 3 big…read moreshelters (shelters would need to be reserved for a large group w/a rental fee). 89 acres in all in this recreation & sports complex! They have a few really nice large playground area as well for the kids to play and plenty of room in general for running around or setting up your own badminton, bags, Frisbee or other outdoor games. Some big trees to provide shade if preferred and restroom facility there as well. This park is actually part of a large complex with a variety of options/facilities: - 3 playgrounds (one is a "musical" playground) - 6 baseball/softball fields - basketball court - skate park - concession stand (I'm not sure on their hours, though) - Turtle Splash Water Park - Wiggly Field & SouthPaw Dog Parks - 25-acre Dyer Nature Sanctuary and trail -outdoor performance venue/bandshell -3 pavilions/shelters available for rental May - September

    We came here for a five year old's birthday party and had a blast! The room we had was of ample…read moresize and was on an exterior wall filled with windows (so plenty of natural light). All the food was brought in but the staff did some clean-up and organization while all the kids played. Speaking of playing... the Tree House (I think that is what it's called) was so much fun! And I'm not speaking on behalf of all the kids (who of course enjoyed themselves), I'm speaking for myself. It was fantastic! It's basically an indoor playground that has a single staff member in attendance if any need arises. The place is clean, in good condition, and has plenty to offer kids (and adults) of all sizes. In addition to this the entire facility (including bathrooms) was clean and well kept and the staff was friendly and helpful. The birthday boy, and all his guests, had an amazingly fun time and you would too. I highly encourage you to check this place out for a child's birthday party (or any kind of event).

    Air conditioning on 2nd floor track hasn't worked all summer - actually there have been issues with…read moreit going back as far as the summer of 2020. We asked several times about this in June, and were told, "a part is coming in at the end of June, and another part is coming in in August." Ok. Nobody even thought to put any large industrial-type fans on each half of the track apparently. Considering most of the people who walk the track here are probably between 50 and upper 80's, this is a considerable disservice to the community to have this many problems with the A/C for over 3 years. Keep in mind, we all pay for this. Word around town is, "almost nobody goes to walk the track because the air doesn't work." You've been warned. Now for nice weather or for fall/winter months, things are usually ok. But the fact that they have had issues with the a/c for over 3 years is also telling.

    THIS PLACE IS A LOCAL GEM!!!! As someone who is here in Illinois for vacation and lives in…read moreCalifornia, this pool is all you will need!! The pools in Cali are so much worse!!! While today was a bit chaotic, the staff was still extremely respectful and mindful, whether there was vomit in the pool or a fire drill. The slides and activities definitely make up for it. Turtle Splash was definitely designed for babies and young children!!! whether it was the playground that comes with the pool or the small slide where your child can enjoy a quick slide into the water The food situation is a bit strict... They are quite stern on the no food allowed, all food that you buy in the food court must be eaten there, and no outside food allowed in at all (you can come in and out of the pool as you please to eat your food from home!!) We tried the food at the restaurant,t and while you can definitely tell it's just frozen food, it's probably the best frozen food there is!!! (slightly overpriced though...) My 2 children and I all had the corn dog, and we all liked it, and I tried the smoothie, and it was not good at all... But the ice cream selection is quite good!! The changing rooms are a bit bare-bones, and there are lockers that I believe you can rent at the front of the pool, but we just took our stuff with us. CAUTION!!! IT GETS EXTREMELY SLIPPERY IN THERE, SO WALK WITH CAUTION!!! They weren't the most sanitary, and there was trash on the floor, but it wasn't terrible. The staff was OK; some lifeguards cared about their jobs, and some didn't give a sh-, with any pool, it was run by high schoolers, but they were all mostly respectful. There was a supervisor named Bill who asked my children if they were having fun, and Bill was one of the few who cared for his job, he was the only staff memeber that was over the age of 30, lol, there was also this lifeguard, if i remember his name correctly his name was Peter, he was at the bottem of the slides and he always asked me and my kids if we were OK after going down. One time on the Tube Slide me and my 4 year old daughter flipped, and he wasted no time grabbing my daughter ASAP so she wouldn't go under (the current is EXTREMELY STRONG). But some lifeguards just stand there like a post and don't move. Shame on them!! It was very packed today, and we still managed to have a lot of fun! There aren't a lot of lawn chairs, and of those, very few are shaded,d but there is a big spot of grass with umbrellas and trees where you can set up base! You can't bring your own chairs or chairs from the pool,l but a blanket is fair game! Pack one just in case their isnt any seats!! Overall, if I lived in the West Chicago Area, I would be a regular at this pool!!! If anyone is on the fence about going to this pool, I highly suggest going!!

    This waterpark 9/10 The water temperature isn't freezing cold, and this is perfect for little ones…read moreas it includes: Waterpark, splash pad, and park all within the same side. The only downside is you cannot take outside food in. I would love to go next year and many years after.
