There are NO nearby grocery store or gas station. but that should not effect your lake life relaxed stay. A bit South of Joliet, we had no idea how to get there, and were way out of our comfort zone in an adventurous sense. I was told that our friend had "plenty of beds" so surely this could not be a trailer home. To my surprise these deluxe double wides, or manufactures homes, are extremely nice. Many have large porches, garages, or 2 floors! A lot of the boat docks have coverings and winter storage options like lifting the boat directly out the water where it sits. This is a "speed boat" lake. A flooded strip mine that gets up to 100ft deep in the center. There is NO sand bar, or party cove. Only families with kids skiing, tubing, and cruising. The lake could not be more picturesque with a cute bridge, various channels and beautiful landscaping. We cannot wait to be invited back, and will keep an ear to the street when a property, complete with Boat, goes up for sale.

We went fishing at goose lake. Loved going there so many times for fishing, swimming, bike riding, picnics to name a small amount of activities there. So years later during the pandemic I forgot to send in the dues. Granted we had a discounted rate. I even said we will pay the full rate because I was so heartbroken over the fact that I screwed up and forgot to pay the dues. I contacted multiple people there about it. They would respond to my messages but would never respond after that. I still don't know why exactly we are not able to renew our membership. I'm no Karen lol but I don't know what to do anymore. I'm so sad that I screwed up my husband's membership and can't get anyone to tell me why. I can handle the reasoning Haha

This review is for the soccer department. After watching my 7 year old play 2 games I noticed she…read morewasnt getting very much game time. I complained as it was basically statically impossible to play as little as she did compared to the other kids especially the coaches daughter. They had 10 people with 7 positions yet somehow my kid sat the bench at the start of every quarter and played less than 50% of the game. All while the coaches daughter played the whole game. I confronted him about it and that guy actually told me that he doesnt believe in fair play and that because his kid puts more effort into practice that she deserves to play more then everyone else. I know hes a volunteer but these are 7 year olds that are in first and second grade. The director of the soccer department did nothing about this coach. Everyone develops differently but that is far to young to punish a kid for not knowing how to play the game perfectly. Bottom line, Hopefully your lucky and you dont get a coach like this, or you get lucky and the coach doesnt single out your child in a method of social bullying. Because, the Channahon Park District will do nothing to help you in this situation. That Coach shouldnt ever be allowed to coach anyone less then 4th grade. That Coach is going to be the reason why so many young kids turn away from soccer.

I take the cardio strength and kickbox strength with Annmarie. All workout classes are good for any fitness level. Most classes are only $5 for the drop-in rate.

Definitely lost some pounds and toned-up a bit in the two months of dropping in and taking Annmarie's classes. Good luck and happy workouts.

Its the perfect place for really any kind of event. I have it booked already for my wedding and reception. It has a very open and airy feel with the white walls in the barn room. There is also the really fun Silo room which we are using for pictures. Almost everything you need to know about the meeting rooms is on the website. A quick call to the administrative office can answer any other questions.The staff there is really friendly and extremely helpful. They also have many great ideas to make your event great. I strongly recommend this to anyone that needs a meeting and event space. You can rent out one of the picnic areas in addition to the indoor meeting space. That is what we are doing for the ceremony. Extra Tip: Walk around the property, there is a ton of great picture moments, look at the fairway on hole 1 and 17 of the frisbe golf course. There is a great picture perfect moment.

Older boys were allowed in and there was inappropriate and unwanted groping being done to 6th graders by high school aged boys. My daughter called us upset and hiding with other young girls in the bathroom. Younger kids cell phones stolen a young girls arm was broken due to slipping on water the older boys threw on the floor. My wife picked up my daughter and I called the police. As I was talking to the supervisor on duty he asked me to hold on as other calls were coming in about this situation. My daughter was so excited for this dance and came home crushed this happened. This establishment was ran by 9th grade aged kids that night and it shows. No or very limited adult supervision and I use adult lightly due to what happened. As of now we know one boy was arrested for groping young ladies. This is a community center a place kids should feel safe and they failed miserably.

There is a second floor that reached all around the main floor, where you can view from the top or bring your own folding chair and watch from above. There is a cafe up there also allowing you to purchase food and drinks and watch the games below. There are bleacher seats all along the main floor where you can sit and watch also. Plenty of parking in front and there are a few restaurants across the street from here but you can't bring any food in as they want you to buy within. I recommend this center.

I know Eisenhower has janitors, but I've never seen them do anything besides run a mop over the floor. To maintain a clean healthy place to swim, I would highly recommend the following * Clean the lockers (aerosol cleaner and wipe down) once a week. * Water vacuum the hot tub. There is sand and soot on the bottom of the hot tub that gets stirred up Everytime the jets are turned on. * Use clear silicon caulk to adhere the loose metal rings, around the shower heads, to the tile shower wall. * Clean the glass in the pool area, sauna, and locker room with Windex at least once a week (locker room should be done daily). * Pull the rubber mats out of the sauna and clean the sauna floor once a week. * Rub the cedar wood, in the sauna, down with teak oil, or similar natural protectant, yearly. * Use a natural bristle pool brush to scrub the walls of the pool. This will scrub off the algae and keep the pool water looking blue instead of greenish-blue. * Pressure wash, or buy a pool Zamboni and clean the pool deck nightly. Don't simply use a mop... This just pushes the bacteria around. The reason I'm going through the effort to write all of this is because I like Eisenhower. Unfortunately, year over year, I'm watching the facility deteriorate. Without regular maintenance, I'm not sure how much longer this community resource will be in operation. Lastly, I would highly recommend extending family swim nights from one night a week to three nights a week. People love family swim, and I very seldom ever see anyone swimming laps on other evenings. Yearly passes are pretty expensive, so family swim night is a great, inexpensive, way for parents to get their kids out of the house; and I am sure it is a great source of revenue for the Park District. Who doesn't like making money?! It's a win win for families and the park district.

I recently encountered a problem when trying to sign my daughter up for swim lessons. The…read morereceptionist is so rude and will talk over you if you have any questions. We last took swim lessons at lan oak in 2019. Due to swim classes being in high demand we sometimes have to find other places to take them on top of that the pandemic shut most classes down. I was told that my daughter would have to start from the class she last attended with them (which was preschool... she'll be 7yrs old in 2months) When I asked if they would assess/test her skills to find the proper class I was rudely told "no" and when I asked if I could call the swim/aquatics supervisor to confirm I was told "THIS IS THE CALL"... idk if this is some sad attempt to get more money out of people by putting a child that has pool experience in a beginners class or if they're too lazy to test the kids. Whatever the case the receptionist is out of line and needs to learn how to interact/communicate with customers.
