The building definitely shows it age, but it still has that local rink feel to it. ** This review is really only in regards to the ice rink part, and not the pool, gym or gymnastics facility areas as I haven't used them much at all. ** I think they've done a decent job with upkeep and it seems they still get good business from high school programs and the in house team (Renegades) . I frequent these days mostly for mens league (dad plays) and it has certainly been steady thus far. I do feel the locker rooms are a negative, as players have to carry their gear upstairs, and they do not boast a lot of space. Time to time their tends to be a smell, but hey, it's a hockey rink I suppose. At the end of the day, the place gets the job done and still holds that local charm.

Spring Valley is a refuge of about 135 acres comprised of fields, forests, marshes, brooks and streams. Some trails are wood beamed while others are rocks and grass. It's a really enjoyable place to spend a few hours by yourself, with friends and family. Parking and entrances to the park are available on both sides 1) off Schaumburg Road 2) off Plum Grove Road.

*Photos shot What a…read morepure joy to find an enclosed, no-leash park where our best friend can call its own. A few short miles past the Motorola campus on Algonquin Road headed west, you can see dogs frolick in this spacious area. It also makes a great place to socialize for dog owners, although the dogs clearly rule the roost here. Here, we mostly know the humans as "so-and-so" 's mom or dad. The camaraderie is solid, and there's even an organized dining out event staged lately. There are rules to follow in the park, but they are so common-sense. Pick up your dog's poop. Dogs need to pass all shots mandated by the Hoffman Estates park district. You can sign up at the rec center located on the lot. If you're a resident of HE, it's $40 annual fee. Otherwise, you pay a little extra. I understand Palatine has its own dog park at the Harper College grounds. Absolutely a great investment for dog lovers and owners. My dog thinks so.

We didn't want to wait that long to pursue her interest so I quickly did some research and moved her to Dreams. We have been doing classes now for 5 months...she has moved up 3 levels and about to do a pre-team class this coming fall! The amount she has learned in such a short time has been amazing to see. Coach Paige is fantastic! Andrew, Amy and Arthur have also made it such a positive experience. Highly recommend!!

However, I called to see if one of my students on the autism spectrum would be able to join in a class with the support of an outside aide. Dreams was not open to even meeting this student or having her try a class. They said they "Tried it once and it didn't work out." It is incredibly disappointing that there are still places in this world, and in our local community, who are not accepting and open minded to differently abled children. As the rest of the world works to become a more inclusive and tolerant place, I hope Dreams takes a look at themselves to figure out how they can be a part of it. My experience with them was not positive, and they should be ashamed.

Here are a couple of reasons why: 1. The courts are not side by side, so you don't have the distraction of the refs whistle blowing in another game and your players stopping because they're not sure who blew it. 2. The floor surface is very good. The floors are wood and well maintained so you don't have kids slipping all the time. 3. The concession stand options are as good as any place I've been. Prices are pretty standard. 4. Only mark against this place is that on some courts there is only one scoreboard and it is behind the benches--good for fans, not for players or coaches. Overall, recommended!
