This little park seems to have it all. Many trees, making for a beautiful landscape in the fall…read more There are paved trails for walking, jogging or biking, maybe 1.5 miles in total perimeter. The trail surrounds and cuts through a playing field (soccer & baseball), a playground for young children, and a small pond for fishing. In addition to the several benches and picnic tables scattered throughout, there's a cute gazebo, and a pavilion that includes at least 20 more picnic tables for a large gathering (don't know if you need a permit). In the middle of the park is a building I have not visited yet, that I'm guessing has bathrooms and perhaps Roselle Park District offices? There are also porta-potties near the playing field. Just watch your step; there are a lot of geese and evidence suggests that are healthy and well-fed. Eek! P.S. I'm not exactly sure where, but I think within 3/4 of a mile is a skating park, also part of RPD.

Camera park is at a perfectly convenient location between my nannying job and LA fitness;…read moretherefore, I have no excuse for not running and working out. It's right near the Glendale Heights fire department at Bloomingdale rd and Fullerton (I always hope they're bbqing so I can stop and ask for a bite when I'm starving post-run) and also near a school so beware of cops, they're always swarming the area. The park is nothing stunningly unique but it also isn't displeasing to the eye plus it's clean. Green fields, 2 play parks, some sporting fields, a skate park, a pond, and the only part I really care about-- paths to run on. I try to run for at least 30 minutes so I usually end up looping the paths in various patterns, it's mostly flat/nearly flat terrain but there are some hilly portions so that adds some variety (also, there are mile markers). Plenty of parking, benches along the path, this park has something for everyone. BTW, be kind to the geese during nesting season, they're just wanting their little ones to be safe.

My recent visit to Audubon Skate Park was marred by an unsettling encounter with an individual…read morenamed Jake. While I strive to provide objective feedback, I cannot overlook the discomfort and unease his presence brought to the park. From the moment I arrived, Jake's behavior raised serious concerns about the safety and overall atmosphere of the skate park. His interactions with the young boys at the park were inappropriate and crossed boundaries of respect and decency. He seemed to prey on one young unsuspecting Asian scooter boy by questioning to integrity of his 'rizz'. After several attempts of plundering said rizz the boy gave in and hit the gritty. Jake then exclaimed, and I quote, "damn that jun bouncing". He made unwelcome comments that made many uncomfortable, tarnishing what should have been a positive and inclusive environment for everyone. He was overly innapropriate and seemed to be trying to seduce every boy he met. He kept telling them to 'hit the gritty' and he kept saying he wanted to 'plunder their rizz'. I found his behavior to be creepy and inappropriate. I stayed away from him as much as possible and I would definitely not recommend him to anyone. It is disheartening to witness someone like Jake using a community space to engage in inappropriate behavior and make others feel uneasy. Skating should be an activity that brings people together, fostering a sense of camaraderie and support. Unfortunately, Jake's presence detracted from that sense of unity, creating an uncomfortable environment for both the boys he targeted and other visitors. After countless 'no's' after being asked to 'hit the gritty' his seductive aura gave way to my rizz and I hit the fattest fucking gritty after which Jake said, "I know that shit grip, like its grippy and shit..."

We spend quite a bit of time driving our kiddos back and forth to various skate parks in the area. My son had been begging us to take him to the new Vernon Hills Skate Park, so we headed out on a beautiful sunny day. Getting to the park was a little tricky. For some reason we missed the turn. Aspen Drive is a little hidden if you don't look out for it. When in doubt, just turn around in the Vernon Hills Police Department parking lot ;-) The skate park is new and on the smaller side. For our kids, this was a little more on the beginner level. I don't recommend it for advanced riders. The rails and ledges are limited and it's pretty flat. But, it's so nice and new. The park district did a fantastic job. I have no doubt it will get used quite a bit. It's a great place to gather with friends! Take note: There is only a little shade with a couple of covered areas Tons of parking, and there is a Walgreens nearby for those wanting a snack. The nearby Sullivan Center is actually really nice. It was closed the day they went due to Covid19. Highly recommend for those starting out. Open dawn to dusk.

Even when rowdy tweens come to use the mini ramps (nothing too big here) they usually cool it with the swearing and grinding when kids come around. For the most part, I don't think this venue gets a ton of action so if you go, there's a good chance you'll have the place to yourself. I think it goes unused a lot because it's not visible from the street or nearest parking lot so you kind of have to already know in order to go. For parking, the place to go is in the Community Park & Aquatic Center parking lot behind the Walgreens at Northwest Highway and Palatine Rd. If you park there you should get out and walk towards the park just outside the aquatic center and then make a left by the small parks building. There's also a little walking path from the park that goes behind the parks building and to the Fred P Hall outdoor amphitheater. The skate park is located directly behind there. It should be noted that the park is unsupervised so BYO safety supplies and don't do anything dumb because, like I said, it's not really visible from the street or parking areas so if you fall and break something and can't get up, it could be a few days before anyone finds your body and by that time the wolves will probably have already eaten at least part of you. Just kidding. Most likely it'd be a coyote kill.

This I had to see for myself. So, the other day I offered to take my kiddos there, and it's not at Abt, but rather hidden in the large Glenview Park District Community Park West right behind Abt. Kids refer to it as the Abt skatepark, because I believe it was sponsored by Abt at one point in time (I mean of course!). The park is a ramp-centric 15,000-square-foot facility designed for beginner and advanced level skaters. It has a bunch of smaller beginning ramps, quarter and half pipes, and a grind box/ledge and rail. There are no bowls. Note: It says no scooters allowed, but there were both scooter riders and skateboarders. The park is off the beaten path. It has benches for taking breaks, and there is also a covered area for those who want to enjoy some shade. On the day we went it was super duper hot, so we were there for only 30 minutes. Plenty of onsite parking.

After spending the day driving around the Fox Valley something he didn't really want to do, we stopped for him to play. I think all the 14 year old kids were wondering whether or not he would break a hip or wondering if he really knew how to skate and drop in which he does. It's nice to see more places opening up for kids to go let off some steam. A lot of them are really good and fun to watch. I was the only wife there, but not the only spectator. There were parents rooting their kids on. Nice, newer skate park located off of Kirk Road. Park is located further back with a small road back to the parking lot.
