What else are you going to do in 70 plus degrees on a Saturday in March? Yes, go for a 3 mile walk!…read more My wife and I have been itching to go for a walk since we go here every Saturday from Spring to late Fall. The entrance we go to is off Dundee road and i had plenty of parking! The trails are well kept and the trees look great in the summer and even more beautiful in the fall. There are gravel trails and paved trails. We typically use the paved trails. People are very courteous when running or riding bikes. They call out that they are passing which it great for safety reasons. The different birds and sometimes we see deer grazing and it's beautiful to see. Along the path there is a radio controlled area where people can fly their gas powered airplane. It is pretty to cook to see and they are very skilled! It has a runway which looks cool, like it is a mini airport. I highly recommend coming here during the summer for hiking, biking, roller blading, picnics, etc. I'll update pictures for each of the seasons!!!!

A very interesting course for disc golf. It can be a little difficult to find the entrance to this…read morepark as the lot is not very obvious when driving by it on the street. The course itself is fairly large but spread out quite widely in a circle. This means that you run across lots of difficult obstacles such as tall grasses, water, bridge, fence, etc. If you don't have good control over your aim, it's easy to get discs lost in the terrain and spend a good amount of time looking for them. With that said, it's quite an interesting course to play and a good challenge if you play at rolling knolls as well. Between these courses, you'll experience quite a bit of obstacles. I do like how this course is a bit flatter than some others if you do not enjoy spending lots of time climbing hills, but there is also a raised basket and a basket on a hill if you need the practice. Worth a visit if you're in the area and looking for a challenge

Been playing here for well over a dozen years. It's a long, rather flat and open 18 hole course…read more Baskets are the Chainstar type. Tees are mostly concrete, with a couple holes teeing off a path or dirt. There are alternate tees and holes on 12 and 14, off the top of my head, but it's easiest just to play off the standard tees. Alternate hole placements change up the course a bit during the year. Overall, a great course to let your arm rip, for those that love distance. Watch out for the swampy area, which affects about 4 holes, as you can easily lose discs in there. Got my first hole-in-one here, on the old hole 13 (the hole where you had to shoot blindly into the woods). It's a shame that the new 13 is the total opposite of the old one.

I recently attended this park for a pickleball event but I am here to express my appreciation for…read morethis beautiful public park. Several years ago I took tennis lessons here. I also took taekwondo lessons (outside) here and I used to drop a family member at the ice arena for ice skating lessons. In winter, the sledding hill is a fun way to enjoy some outdoor activity. The children's play area looks well maintained. The accessible all gender restrooms are clean and in order. This is a beautiful park to watch sports, participate in sports, or enjoy the great outdoors.

This park has really blossomed over the years with a lot of activities. We only explored the…read moreplaygrounds on this visit, which were really nicely spread out. The playgrounds were fenced in and had soft cushioned surfaces. There was plenty of seating nearby too. By the playgrounds were tennis courts, pickleball courts and a basketball court. The park is just missing permanent bathrooms and a refillable water bottle station. The rest of the park has a frisbee golf course, ball fields, soccer fields, ice skating rink, sledding hill and plenty of parking.

I first visited Volo Bog in the early 90s with an environmental biology class I was taking at CLC…read more I've returned many times since then to hike the large outer ring trail. I recently returned with a group to see a presentation slide show and do a guided walk through the bog interpretive trail and had a really great time. It was the first time I'd done the guided tours or experienced the presentations. The docents and people working here are really great and you can tell they enjoy what they do here. They were very friendly and open with our group and everything was very informative. The fall colors were beautiful! I wish I'd seen a muskrat this time but the temp was chilly and they were probably all hunkered down. I did see lots of birds! If you enjoy nature you should definitely visit Volo Bog.

Parks like Busch Grove make me proud to be from Buffalo Grove…read more First, the park serves largely as a nature preserve. Trees, grasses, streams, and a pond are home to ducks, beavers, muskrats, and a colorful assortment of wildflowers. An asphalt trail circles through the preserve and on any sunny day you see families biking and rollerblading. To the side of the trail are signs highlighting various plants and animals you may see on your walk. On the east end, near Buffalo Grove Road, there is a skate park and roller/ice hockey rink. The hockey rink is busy year round and the skate park is very popular as soon as it warms up. Finally, the park is easily accessible from Willow Stream Park via the overpass over McHenry Road. Kids can safely get from the pool at Willow Stream to the skate park in Busch Grove.

Is this a dog park, or a disc golf course? Some residents who were camped out on a front 9 today…read moreplaying with their dog on the fairway, blocked the hole and refused to move so we could play through. This is a taxpayer funded course right (??), so I'm not entirely sure how that grants the rights to adjacent neighbors to camp out and use it as a dog park and then report people who get angry about their game being blocked in return, because they can't finish their game. And I just want to clarify, that if we want to go throw on a course, and there are people blocking us from playing the course because it's a dog park at that particular time of day that they have deemed works best for them, then we need to just ignore their entitlement and go to the next hole?? Would you do that to someone on a regular golf course?? I think NOT. Guessing the police deal with this entitlement on the regular based on what they said after they were called. 3 stars are because the course is amazing, but the entitled neighbors and their stupid dog can get bent.

This is one of the better overall courses in the area. A relatively challenging 18 hole course,…read morewhich offers players anything from a short straight sub-200ft hole, a few right drifting holes through the woods, three holes across water/swamp and everything in between. DISCatcher baskets. Many tees (ones not in the woods) are on the paved path. In the woods, they offer astro turf tees. Much of the back 9 is in the woods. There is a nice playground here if you have a significant other and kids that don't play. They also host tournaments here. Check the Hoffman Parks website, or course, for details.

I enjoy going here for walks and jogs. I forget how long of a trail it is for walking/ jogging/ bicycling purposes but either way, it is enjoyable. They have BBQ grills and picnic areas, benches, fields for baseball and soccer, a basketball court and some complimentary exercising (gym) equipment for anyone who would like to use it. The park has easy (multiple) access points and although, certain parking areas can get busy during nice weather days, you have other parking options nearby. There are multiple restroom areas in the park. Pets (dogs to be exact) are allowed for a walk. You get pretty views of sunsets from here over the small lake that's there as the area is scenic. I go here occasionally for either exercising or just to get my mind of things as I find this place relaxing and chill. Check this park out if you haven't been here before. It's worth the visit.
