The northeast baseball diamond has lights which EPBC uses (may have flipped the bill, not sure though) for night baseball games. Restrooms are available and are relatively clean.

I visited this place for a friend's sons 5th birthday. It looked small from the outside but it's a…read moregood size for a private party for one group. They had a couple of long folding tables and chairs when you first walk in. There's a basketball shooting game and a large connect four game. There's also a couple of chairs and tvs where you can watch a movie or play video games. I was able to relive my childhood Mortal Kombat game for a bit before a small child wanted to take over. In the other room there is a wall of nerf guns with 'soft' bullets. I say soft but they kinda hurt coming at you at a certain speed from a gun. Good thing they had safety glasses! A few of the kids had fun shooting at each other and running around. All around a cute little entertainment place. Well maintained and clean. The music playing when we walked in was loud and contained swear words, which is inappropriate for a kids place. It continued until eventually one of the guests asked to take over with her music; which ironically wasn't any better. Haha. I would suggest playing Kidz Bop?

Extremely frustrating. Without reservations or time limits, getting on the ice outside of work and…read moreschool hours is almost impossible unless you arrive over an hour early. We've tried twice, and the wait was extremely long. Beyond that, people save spots in line for their friends an family, so more people are ahead of you than you think. There should be at the very least a time limit for people to be on the ice, similar to how Rosemont does it.

It's got a couple full basketball courts and a playground. The place looks straight out of a video game with train tracks running overhead. The courts themselves aren't that great -- occasional potholes and sewer drains, uneven surface with some loose gravel. Played with some neighborhood kids who were welcoming. If you're scared, there's a police station across the street too.

I found myself in Superior Park getting a bit emotional. I've been on quite the journey this year…read morefinding, eating, and ranking grocery store rotisserie chickens all across the country. Chicken Wars. I sat here in this park with a Mariano's rotisserie chicken between my legs as I set up a tripod to record myself eating my 92nd grocery store bird this year. I'm hitting the breaks on this once I hit 100. I'm just a bit tired of traveling to different grocery stores, and creatively it gets a bit boring doing the same thing over and over and over again. As much as I genuinely love the bird, it's time. Right before I pressed record, I had a moment. Damn. It's been a journey. I know it sounds silly, and it is objectively silly, but I've come a long way. I had 5k followers on Instagram when I started this, and now I'm at over 100k. Life comes at you fast. Pure, genuine pride in myself is something I rarely feel. I'm by far my own worst critic. If someone talked to me how I talked to myself I'd have no choice but to fight them. But, in this moment, I was proud of myself. I brought an original idea to life that people connect with, and I've given it a lot of time, energy, and effort. For the first time in 10+ years, I really feel like that 13 year old version of me would be really proud. I took my life by the horns and finally made it my own. It feels good. It feels pure. After 45 seconds of pride and self love, I locked back in and demolished this 7.6/10 chicken while kids played and parents watched in the background. A great place to eat a bird.

There's a playground with a slide and swings. Has a path going through it that connects to the rest of the area. This is actually a pretty good sized park for there not being much to do or look at inside. For sure this park is pretty basic. It's good enough for the neighborhood kids maybe.

There is plenty of parking in the neighborhood so that won't be a problem should you choose to visit the park.

This gym is located on UC's campus and I believe you must be affiliated with the University to be a…read moremember here, but I could be wrong. Like most gyms, it really depends on what time you come to decide if you can get in a solid work out or not. Not a lot of free weights, machines are placed together in a haphazard way; not conducive to sets unless leg and bicep day is on your workout schedule. Squat racks and smith machines are plenty, but usually taken by UC athletes who are deadlifting. Equipment is in okay shape. There are spray bottles and towels available to ensure things are sanitized - in theory, that is. Here is my challenge with this gym: there are numerous signs reminding obtuse college students to wash their hands, practice basic human hygiene, wear appropriate clothing and shoes etc. Do you think anyone adheres to these rules? No. This is the smelliest gym I have EVER been to. EVER. Students are barefoot, in flip flops, wearing jeans - which to me just screams lawsuit (and a yeast infection) waiting to happen. At the end of the day, if you are a student here, this is probably an awesome place to work out - athletic 20 year olds, decent equipment, and lots of signs you won't read. As a grown up spending real money to work out here - try and come in the middle of the morning as you will miss out on all the annoyances.
