Perfect for an afternoon with littles

I get it... people do not want to pay to go to a public park, but then.... Maybe don't go? It's a…read morepark district park, so perhaps they need the money to help maintain the park or to help with crowd control. And I'm sure there are plenty of other parks in the area that do not charge. The place was pretty packed on a Sunday morning at 10:20am, but not in an annoying way. I thought the equipment was uniquely different from your standard playground. Lots of creative equipment for sensory play. I wasn't SUPER thrilled to see the gritty sand and water (am I just super OCD or are there actually parents out there that see that at a playground they drove to that says "oh yay! Water and messy sand!"). Oh and the death trap tight rope was also a "yikes" reaction, but my kids stayed away from it, so no biggie. It was fun. I wasn't bothered by the one hour time limit (although, I don't even know if they actually kick people out because we left a little after 11am and I didn't see them trying to clear the area). But.... It was hot and I was ready to leave the park and do not mind having the backing of being able to tell my kids that the park is closing to help get them to leave.

It has wood floors, scoreboards, and a small bleacher section (5 rows) on one side. There are regular daily open gym hours, and many other activities. Pioneer also has a swimming pool, baseball diamond, football field, and tennis courts. It also has the best fenced in, lighted, full court outdoor basketball court in all of Arlington Heights. Highly recommended!

The park is home to baseball fields, football fields, a playground, a dog park, a walking path, and much more. I have primarily used the walking trail at the park. I find the walking path to be peaceful and scenic. There are clearly marked lanes and there is a lot to be seen on your walk. I had a nice time and highly recommend Melas Park!

The four fields are all turf, but this is the roughest turf we have visited all year. It's dangerous to slide, many raspberries were had yesterday, and two boys got holes in their baseball pants too. The concessions are fine, although $5.00 for a slice of Garabaldi's cheese is silly. The walking path is nice. The worst park are the bathrooms...The women's is disgusting!!! Overflowing toilets, broken toilet seats, filthy walls, one hand dryer. Bad, bad, bad. You just have to zone out while you use it. There are enough tournaments here that an upgrade to the field and RRs is a necessity!
