Such a beautiful oasis, John McLaren developed in the early 1900s, he was brought in from NY Central Park. Mosiacs, murals, wood carvings and statues. A 9 hole golf course, archery filed, museums and Stow lake.

I signed my daughter up for a summer camp here and on her first day she was playing on the monkey bars and fell and broke her wrist. I was not notified or called about anything until my husband picked her up. She was crying and clearly had a broken wrist where they only applied ice and had her sitting in pain. Their staff is not trained nor do they care to let you know your child was injured. Do not recommend!!!

I am at the Rakow Center nearly every day. I like it. The people who work there are all very friendly, and the facilities are serviceable, but not great.Depending on the time and day it can either be incredibly busy or a ghost town.The fitness room has 5 or 6 treadmills, 3 different types of elliptical machines for a total of 5, 2 stair climbers, and a handful of stationary bikes of various design. None of these machines have a television screen of its own. Instead all of these cardio machines are facing two TV screens that are usually set on a 24 hour news channel (Fox News or CNN) and The Food Network. The last things I want to watch when exercising is Fox News and Diners Drive Ins and Dives, but that is what they show. They will change the channel for you if no one is watching those.They have the usual weight room machines and free weights. Most of these machines are in good shape. There is also a small padded area for sit-ups and stretching, but this is only enough room for one or two people.Ive only been there once when the fitness room was really busy, and the entire room developed a strong odor, to the point where I had to cut my workout short. So, I guess air circulation isnt great.

I am extremely disappointed with this towns recreation centre, I was disappointed with the gym I was expecting big things with this gym, with prices such as 25 a month for a small location everything feels so cramped youre better off going to planet fitness or some other gyms that only charge 10 dollars a month

The senior center hosts a Halloween party for special needs kids every year. Thats really the only time I visit, but its always well maintained and the kids have a great time.

The Dolphins cove is a decent park district water park built back in the 90s. The facility itself needs a more modern refurbishment BUT has the bare necessities for your cardio and machine lifting

The park district purchased property with tax-payer money and approval including green space for the families in Carpentersville which was proclaimed to be low income housing and a minority population, but they turned around and traded it to Kane County so they could build a 4 lane high speed road. This is not what I consider a good trade for the kids who play there. Now they can go play in traffic? Shameful.

The worst place ive ever been to, they kicked us out when we were lap swiming because of my baby brother that is by the way 6 was doing it too. They say hestoo little oh ya and you migth not want to go there because when they talk to you, you feel their tuna salad lunch all over your forehead. This place is the worst this review migth not mean to them but the readers do.
