Review for Harrer Pool parties only: Don't. We contacted the park district 1 month prior to…read moreintended party date to pay deposit to secure the party room. After scheduling and paying deposit for the pool party and confirming we have 1 hour set up and 1 hour post party to clean up, we tried to contact the Harrer pool coordinator for room specs, table number, size, chairs and equipment availability so we know what we needed to buy or not buy..table covers wall decor and such. Nothing. Emails and phone calls not returned. Was contacted 2 days prior to party by the new coordinator only to be asked about the cake. Coordinator told my daughter, the birthday celebrant's mom, we had to be out of the room exactly at noon. We were pushed out at 1145.. why? They had their own party to go to. Will never opt for a party space that NEEDS to have a coordinator on site. Have used the field houses for parties before and will continue to use them again. OR will rent Oriole Pool party room and instead (as long as that particular "party planner" is NOT part of the deal) So terribly disappointed.

This review is purely for the 'open' volleyball Thursday nights. I've gone to the gym for years…read more The workers there are friendly and helpful. The older woman that looks to head this "open" volleyball seems to pick and choose when she would like others to take part. My friends and I have slowly started to participate in the open volleyball here, but have noticed that her attitude towards us participating is not very kind. We come from different suburbs in the Chicagoland area - not exactly close. But we're turned away because she felt that they couldn't let one more team play (even though other players told us we were welcome). Third week in a row we were given attitude while trying to take part in "open" volleyball. I would suggest MG park district try to come up with a sign up sheet or better method of signing up to partake in "open" volleyball. Because if I have to travel from far to only be told I cannot play, it should not be called "open" volleyball. We would have made other arrangements to play had we known we would be told we cannot play there. Instead we wasted 45 mins trying to arrange another court to play. Unprofessional and rude.

Between me and my kids I think we take tennis at most clubs in the North Shore. We've taken…read moreprivates here with Maria Fernitz who is fabulous when it comes to teaching both kids and adults. It seems to be easier to get a court here than some of the other nearby clubs (ex: North Shore Racquet Club) and it's always pretty quiet. In fact, there's many Friday mornings (during this pandemic) where we've been lucky enough to have the club to ourselves. The billing system is a little confusing. They invoice you and if you do a semi-private lesson with a few kids they can't seem to split the cost. Sometimes they invoice me and sometimes my son's friend so there's lot of consistency. We figure it out between us, but would be great to just pay for half the lesson each week, which doesn't seem to be an issue at any other club. For example, I take a lesson at Northbrook Racquet Club with 2 other friends and they split the cost between us at the front desk. Overall, been pleased w/ their covid protocols from masks to hand sanitizer at the front. It's also an easy drive from our house in Glencoe. I haven't taken any of their classes or from any other instructors, but Maria herself is 5 stars.

I'm not surprised to be the first one to review this place, but it seems that many people knew…read moreabout this park already, and have not told me. Which I can understand why. This place is deep in a neighborhood where you can't hear the cars, trucks or buses going by. The play ground for kids is impressive for a public park. The two tennis courts are nicely done and looks like there well managed. The basketball court is full, slightly not leveled, barely noticeable, though on the other hand the rims are single at least, not double like other outdoor courts, with two other rims on the side of the court. Wildwood Park also contains a senior and two junior baseball fields, a softball field, a football field, a horseshoe pit, and a spray pool. This is going to be one of the park I will consistently go now, since it seems the park districts are taking down one rim in each basketball court to extinguish full court play, how sad, this is why America is getting fat. Anyhow, this park is really nice to bring the little ones since I seen many other adults bring their kids, in what seems to be a nice, safe environment.

The basketball courts in the gym is spacious and it's nice to check out the schedule and look at open gym times. Also, there's an awesome track above the courts on the second floor too. Other than that, I haven't explored the rest of the gym but it looks like there's also a swimming pool, outdoor tennis (or some other racquet type of sport), and a golf club.
