The Lytle House was the perfect venue for our summer wedding…read more The owners, Michelle and Robyn, stood out from the rest from day one. They got to know us and helped guide us through the entire process. Our goal was to keep things fairly simple, but high-quality. They took our general ideas and helped craft the perfect atmosphere for our wedding reception. The day of the wedding reception, Michelle knocked it out of the park getting the flowers, photos, sound system, and other decorations all set up. We also hired Michelle to handle our photography and she did a phenomenal job with that, as well. It was a blast watching our guests walk in and say, "Wow... this place is incredible! I had no idea this was here!" The Lytle House really is a special hideaway in the city, and we'll be recommending it to friends and family every chance we get. - Vanessa and Matt

South Park is a wonderful multiuse park district facility on the corner of Devon and Cumberland…read more There is a park, splash pad, football / lacrosse fields, softball diamonds, tennis courts, outdoor ice rink (winter) and a multiuse building. My children have taken gymnastics and karate in there. I do not feel the seating in the downstairs area is adequate, but I hear the Park District is looking at upgrades to the facility soon. The splash pad is wonderful - plenty of fountains and a slide to amuse the kids. The park has a number of swings and a variety of slides for every age group. Basically there is something for every age group and pretty much year round. As mentioned in prior reviews, you can host a party or meeting upstairs for an economical, centrally located event.

Review for the little pool:…read more I really like and enjoy this place, and so do my kids. My 4 year old can be and feel independent because i don't have to follow her everywhere due to the fact that this place is small and round, so no hidden corners. My 1yr old and I can have fun splashing water and not bothering anyone by doing so. There are toys everywhere that they both can play with. There are plenty of chairs around for parents. The lifeguard is always watching. $6/each for non-residents of PR. I love this place!

I was told about The Studio at D&B and when I walked in I envisioned having my party there. They allow you to decorate as you want and bring in your own food and DJ. This was a private party just for me and my guests and it was perfect. I would definitely use this venue again in the future. If you are up for the DIY or hiring someone to decorate you can make this place look amazing.

I am such a fan of the Cook County Forest Preserves . And one reason I love them is that there's…read morealways something new to find and explore! Every time I visit I fall in love again. Today I visited the Volunteer Resource Center (VRC) near Edgebrook Woods. They held a program for Black History Month; I really want to support this type of cultural programming within the FPCC system, and it's an added bonus that it sounded interesting. The VRC is right near the Edgebrook Golf Course--the same entrance is for both. But unless you've been to an event here or go to the golf course, you're unlikely to known this was here. It's a really great event space which the FPCC rents out for various events. There's a different rate for county residents versus non-residents, and the cost differs for Monday-Thursday and Friday-Sunday dates. However, the rates seem really reasonable to me. There's a main room which is especially lovely; there's a large fireplace, high ceilings, and a lot of space--this room can hold 100 people. The classroom is much smaller and can accommodate up to 40. Both those spaces can be rented independently of one another, and I think you can rent portions of the golf course as well? All the information is on the webpage. The main room has a kitchen space as well so you can work with a caterer for your event. I wish I had an event for which I could use this space; I'll bet it's especially beautiful in the spring and summer. There are picnic tables just outside the indoor facility, and parking is plentiful as well.

Today will be my third time and today is my graduation of this life transformation. I came here last year for my sons transformation graduation and it was awesome. The place has a living nursing home and since I used the elevator enteance from the nursing home I was able to greet some of the residents and they told me they like living here. I asked them how much they pay to live here and they told me they all have different prices depending how big there rooms are. The building can use some renovations. The parking place need a full make over. I know I would not have a wedding here that is for sure. I like something modern or classy not 60 looking
