It's been a little while since I was here with the kiddos, but our recent visit here along with…read morecomparative visits to numerous other parks in the area over the past couple of summers allows me to conclude that Flick Park has the best playground in the Glenview and surrounding area. They have a lot of fun things for the kids here and there is nice tree cover and nearby convenient parking to boot. This park also includes a huge and extensive swimming pool facility but that is worthy of its own review on its own separate and existing Yelp site.

It's nice that it's a large enough park that had plenty of space for folks to set up their camp chairs to enjoy the concert with the playground a few yards away. Right now I'm in my "fully enclosed park" era, and though Monument Park has fencing around most of it, there are several spots where there's no fence and a child can run away easily (like mine did, though luckily not through the fence; just to try and get on the "stage"). You know I like to add a bit of history for the parks, and Monument is no different. This was the first park created in the former village of Edison Park, shortly after the small village of about 300 people was annexed in order to obtain city services. It was originally established as Ridge Lawn Park, but it was formally changed to Monument Park due to the war memorial that was erected here. The extant monument was to honor local men and boys who died in "the World War"--that is, WW1, as the obelisk has been here since 1918. There's no dedicated parking for the park. However, there is street parking, and the Metra station has a parking area at the station and that extends a few blocks south.

Monument Park is located in Edison Park just across the train tracks from Moretti's and EPI. It is…read morequite spacious and has a large playground, open field and monument to World War I soldiers. The playground area is pretty well maintained and has a number of things for the kids to play on. There are swings, slides, monkey bars and some train related play structures. It is good for kids from newborn to about age 7. The equipment is all in good shape and it looks like they repaired some items for 2018. The main draw here is the location. Since it is right across from downtown Edison Park it is a great place for kids to blow off steam before/after going out to eat. The steady flow of trains on the Metra line also amuse young ones who are in to Choo Choos. Check this park out if your kids want a fun park with some lively scenery.

There's no shortage of great parks in Glencoe so I was surprised when we moved here last winter…read morethat the "Friends Park" smack in the middle of downtown Glencoe was pretty shabby. Soon after moving we learned it was getting a major facelift and watched as they built it all summer long. I had high hopes it would be ready before the end of summer, but as the days progressed that looked unlikely. And soon there were flyers all over town promising a park dedication party. My 2 1/2 year old obviously can't read, but somehow she figured out that this was a party she needed to attend...and reminded me everyday for a month. Tonight was park dedication night and even the threat of a storm didn't keep all 8000 people in Glencoe from attending. It was an absolute madhouse of excited children and my daughter literally ran around screaming "I LOVE GLENCOE." And I gotta admit there's a lot to love about this park. Besides the ideal location for a quick stop here during a trip to town it has park equipment to put smiles on the faces of kids of all ages. My daughter isn't really into climbing structures, but she couldn't get enough of the swings and a stationary choo-choo train that does a nice job of providing shade on a hot day. Although tonight may have been the "official" opening of the park, it's been in use for almost a week now. And based on the crowds each day I think it's safe to say this was one successful facelift.

The last 15 minutes of each hour are adult swim, which is nice, although I was with a group of kids and they hated having to get out of the water. We got there early afternoon on a summer weekday and didn't have any trouble finding lounge chairs for our group of 4. Be aware there is very little shade here. There is a snack bar with potato chips and ice cream novelties.

This review is for the pool. I grew up going to this pool every summer. I recently went here for…read morethe first time as an adult to bring my own child. It looks exactly the same and they have managed to keep it in good condition. It's nothing fancy but it's clean and well kept. I love that they have two kid pools, one with a bunch of fountains and that connects to slides and another that is more basic/quieter. There was plenty of seating and lots of staff/lifeguards around. They do adult swim for the last 10 min of each hour. One less star because it is very expensive for non-residents ($18 per person). My infant was free, thank goodness. I guess if I think about it that is about the cost of a movie ticket. Anyways, I will probably not be going as often as I would like because of the cost.

This is a nice little public park with a fantastic location and a nice and convenient parking lot…read more I've been here before with the kiddos as it's a pre-programmed and required stop at the well-equipped playground anytime they visit the Glenview Dairy Bar right across the street. It's also located behind the Glenview Public Library, and across the street also from Joe's Donuts and the Glenview Metra station. Today we enjoyed the park by watching a free and delightful 1 hour concert by the park's gazebo and performed by an eclectic Indian/Carribean group named Funkadesi. A plaque I saw said it's Glenview's oldest public park. The people we have encountered here are also all clean, courteous, and well behaved and the place epitomizes Glenview as the great community that it is.
