Fairly new playground! It's been renovated about a year ago now…read more I like this place because it's so near my home. We always come here for picnics, parties, or small events. I even bring by a bus of children for activities on Sundays. It's pretty well-kept. The grass is always cut. I always see the guy cutting the grass early in the morning. The park has got a sandy area for volleyball, a large field with goals for soccer, and a court for basketball. Pretty large park. It also has those free breakfast and lunch programs during the week for children under 18. The only downside now is that the bathrooms are locked. Sometimes, I would really love not to go home to use the washroom..

If I can give this place 10stars I would ! Also When I come to visit on a regular day my girls can spend hours here and still argue to go home. Food options are great and not over priced!

We were here for my great nephew's birthday party There…read morewere a few things that occurred during the event that we found to be extremely strange First even the adults are required to remove their shoes instead of offering booties this was gross because no one wanted to go into the restroom barefoot Second this venue does not offer any American soft drinks or sodas for some political reason which the staff tried to explain during the children's party we found this to be odd and disconcerting to bring up politics during a children's party Next as we were eating our food all sitting at the table One of the employees came up and told us that we couldn't sit there that we had to pick up our stuff and move to a different table we just found this to be completely inappropriate In addition during the party they had a card on the table describing each cost of what my niece had paid for the event If people want this type of information they can go up to the desk and ask for it you don't need to reveal to someone's guests what they've spent for the party The employees were friendly the venue was fairly clean but it was just a real strange environment I don't understand why you would bring politics to a children's party

I really like this park! More importantly, my kids seem to like it too. Fair number of swings,…read morevery low monkey bars for the little ones, a spring ride airplane looking thing (always a hit) and 3 or more slides. Nice long ramp that leads up to the slides plenty of room for the kids to run. A little bit of tree cover (shade can be an issue) but, not a ton. Really close to the street (not a very busy one) and the kids aren't exactly "corralled" in. Neither of these are enough of a concern to avoid it. Check it out.

The manager and staff are great!…read more As a mom, there's nothing more comforting than seeing your child feel safe, supported, and celebrated--and that's exactly what we've found here. When we first started swim lessons, my kiddo was terrified of the water. I honestly wasn't sure how it would go. But thanks to the incredibly patient, kind, and skilled instructors, not only is my child no longer scared--they are absolutely thriving. What makes this place truly special is the family atmosphere. Everyone knows my kiddo by name, cheers them on, and makes them feel like they belong. It's not just swim lessons--it's a community that genuinely cares. We've gone from tears at the pool's edge to being asked daily if it's "swimming day" yet. I can't thank this team enough for helping my child grow in confidence and fall in love with swimming!

Instructors, called coaches, provide instruction and correction when needed to meet specific goals for each class level. When goals are met, the kids get patches and graduate to the next level. Bear Paddle also offers special clinics and camps during breaks from school. Pool is filled with warm salt water. Locker room has stalls for changing and showers are available. The Kid Wash also allows kids to rinse off before and after class in a fun way. There's an adjacent room with tables, and chairs, snack machines (I don't think they are working at this time), and kids' movies. Kids seem to like it.

I think they do a terrific job with activities for the under 14 set. I also see a number of activities that look enjoyable for Senior Citizens in their brochures. I also think they have great parks for sports and dogs. However, I don't see a lot that interests me and perhaps that is my fault, I should be more open to new activities. What I really wish the Frankfort Park District included in its repertoire was an out door pool. Yes, I know there are pools at the High Schools, I use them. Yes, I know there is a pool at the Country Club but I am not that rich. I drive to Park Forest for a summer park district facility with a terrific Adult only lap pool. Wouldn't that be great for here in Frankfort? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone with me on this idea?

They lifeguards go do check ins I'm the locker rooms the water for the shower is hot so no need to scream in cold showers. I been here so many decades ago but it still a gorgeous place for the entire family to come and have fun. I love the fact that they do have adult swimming every hour so yay. I mean only adult swimming. The down side is that they do not allow out door food which is hard for us since we are in a special diet no gluten dairy free etc our food got confiscated the good side they kept it with them in the shade area indoor with them. Remember do t bring food here. You can buy food here and soda etc is not bad at all. The only thing the prices are a little high but welcome to 2023 prices. Since we are not resident to Burbank I end up paying a lot to get in I do want to thank Sebastian the life guard for doing a fast jump to assist my son that was not surfacing from jumping from the board. Sebastian whistle and throw the rescue red float and jump so fast. Woot woot my don was ok

I am extremely disappointed in how their branch of Special Olympics handled a serious concern--and…read moreeven more disappointed that it appears to have been ignored entirely. On March 3, 2026, I was involved in an incident during practice where a coach directed vulgar language toward me ("get the f'n ball"). When I later responded in frustration, I was suspended for violating rules around language and conduct. So to be clear: athletes are disciplined for language, while similar behavior from coaches is not held to the same standard. I was told by leadership above the team level, including an individual from within Special Olympics named Amie Dugan, that someone would follow up with me within a week to discuss both the incident and my concerns about how athletes are treated. That follow-up never happened. It has now been almost a half a year. Because of this situation, I missed out on participating in state championships for basketball and the following softball season. That is a significant loss of opportunity over an issue I made a good-faith effort to address. This is not just about one incident. There have been multiple documented complaints regarding coaching conduct and professionalism. In those cases, the outcome has been minimal accountability, often limited to informal or insufficient apologies. In contrast, when athletes respond in similar ways, the consequences are significantly more severe, including suspension and loss of participation opportunities. Many of the athletes on these teams are adults with jobs and responsibilities, yet are sometimes spoken to in ways that feel disrespectful and infantilizing. When concerns are raised, they do not appear to be taken seriously or followed up on. I attempted to resolve this privately and respectfully. Being told I would be contacted and then hearing nothing for almost half a year shows a lack of accountability and professionalism. If leadership cannot follow through on something as basic as a promised response, it raises serious concerns about how complaints are handled overall and whether standards are being applied fairly. I hope this organization takes a closer look at consistency, communication, and respect--because based on my experience, those standards are not being upheld equally.
