Great cpd ice skating classes, tennis, yoga and ballet. They are on a different schedule then the rest of the park districts so check their website for updates. Also great for open skate when available.
McFetridge has the most passionate yoga instructors. Each and everyone brings 100% to their practice. Their guidance is very easy to understand. There is no judgement whether youre a beginner like me or a long time yogi.
I have been taking tennis lessons here for a very long time. Fun, engaging coaches. I definitely feel like I am getting something out of the lessons. Very clean. McFetridge has taught me to be a better tennis player.
McFetridge is an early voting site which is why we were there. It is a wonderful sports facility as well with tennis and an ice rink. One of its best features is lessons in a number of sports both for kids and grown-ups. Always a fun bee hive of people and activities!
Great Ice skating ring always cleaning and the restroom.
I absolutely LOVE Mcfetridge! I have been going there for years, I took lessons as a kid and I go for Free skate on weekends. Great affordable price. It is indoor so it is year round. I always get a couple of friends and go for an hour. There is also indoor tennis and a gym! Great and well kept facility. Yes, there is a place to sit and wait if you dont want to go on the ice.
The place is great but now it is VERY hard to get a court. When going online, one is to sign up starting 7am. However, they are often already taken. It was more democratic when we had to sign up in person at 7am. Though a pain, you had a better chance of keeping others from cutting into the line.
Kids love the ice skating lessons for tots. We also go to to free skate for extra practice but it gets a little crowded. Glad to have the rink available.
Nice clean facility.
Youth hockey program was best part of my sons childhood. My wife loves the yoga classes and I love the open skate sessions.
This is a very nice place to spend some time in and learn how to ice skate, It is a friendly environment. Also I noticed that is very reasonable on price
McFetridge is awesome! So glad we found this place. So many options for lessons and activities. Indoor tennis, skating, hockey, yoga, etc.Staff has always been pleasant and helpful. We love it here.
Great sports venue right in our backyard
Fun place for the whole family. Take a few slips on the ice you will grpw to love it.
Love skating lessons with Jen. She explains the moves perfectly and gives lots of tips.
Great place for skating - probably the only Chicago park with skating facility. Strongly recommend you check and enroll your kids here. Age 4+. Has a playground too for little ones
Lovely indoor tennis facility!
We had a fun time at open skate. Not crowded.
Decent price for open skate if youve got your own skates. There are plenty of benches to change. Theyve got restrooms.
Loved it, skating classes are very organized, there is open skate time for all ages on Fridays. My girls are learning a lot
My daughter loves her ice skating lessons here. Good location and neighborhood. Free parking.
The ice rink facilities are great! Expect a crowd and get there for the open skates.
Pretty good, a little cooler in the ice arena than were used to due to being closer to the ice and lower ceilings so be ready for that. Like that they have wooden benches as opposed to metal ones.
Excellent staff and very well-managed programs. Weve taken both tennis and skating sessions here and pleased with both. The annual ice show was a pleasant surprise!
Very nice park. The field house is large and the staff there is nice and helpful. Lots of events to attend to there as well.
Best city rink, great ice surface and lots of public skate times.
Great activity based fieldhouse in the city. It has a standard sized ice rink with multiple rows of seating. There are multiple indoor tennis courts and a fifty yard pool. There are numerous children activities provided and the center is open seven days a week from 6am to 11pm. There is lots of parking, a nice playground, and a regulation size hard surface baseball field that is handicap accessible.
Young ladies behind the counter arent qualified to work with people. Theyd probably fit better at a place like Taco Bell or Checkers. Nice ice rinks though!
Nice ice arena but soft and slow ice.
Nice park district rink. Recent renovations have made it a very nice facility
Great place for indoor tennis. $52 for 2 hours. The reservation is bit annoying since too many people are competing.
As a rink, its fine. Onsite sharpening was okay. Concessions are closed and coffee machine is out of order. The park district needs to put some TLC into it for the home team, the Chicago Riverdogs.
Another park district facility I remember as a kid when I used their tennis court (and found out that tennis, although fun, really wasnt something I was particularly great at), but how can you dislike an indoor sports facility that has a full-scale hockey rink? IIRC theres also an indoor jogging track as well, so theres not much they missed when they built this place.
Great rink/center for watching my grandson play hockey.
Fun adult ice hockey league (go Northside Riffs!) and awesome tennis classes and indoor courts. I come here several times a week. Tuesday morning I took a tennis class, Tuesday evening my son had a tennis class, and Tuesday night I had a hockey game. Three trips here in one day!
We’ve gone to a few skating competitions here and they’ve always run on time. The building and seating area is clean and the staff has been helpful. The parking area is a bit small, especially on competition day though.
Its a great place with awesome stuff!
The ice was terrible. There were puddles throughout the game, and deep ruts everywhere.
Nice place, would be better if time is well respected
A good park district rink
I took advantage of Early voting here, yesterday (03/07/2020).
Good place to take the kids Skating
Cool place. Has a lot to offer tgat I havnt tried. Usually there to ice skate or early vote.
Ive been ice skating there for the past 30 years. Love this place! Now I take my daughter.
New studio rink is great!
Ok rink. Locker rooms are small and the ice is alright. Employees do what they can to keep the place running smooth.
They have both indoor tennis courts and an indoor ice skating rink. The prices for classes are very good. Could use a better snack bar, but thats ok. Theres a nice enough playground right outside.
I took tennis here and the instruction is amazing for such a good price!
Wonderful indoor courts!
Easy, affordable access to indoor tennis courts without needing a membership.
Clean, Public parking, great staff.
Been there for public skatingThey can rent the skates but also they let you skate your own skatesThe price for skating it’s fairPlace is clean, they have a small convenience food store inside also acceptable parking.Highly recommended.ThxPeace!
Amazing sports center. The yoga studio is clean and peaceful. I really enjoy going there.
Great for sports, two ice rinks. Horrible parking.
Great city facilities here. If you’re looking for affordable classes you should check this place out. Tennis lessons have been great, all the instructors are very helpful! They offer classes both indoor and outdoor, my game has been steadily improving with their help.
Great place to ice skate
Great instructors! Flexible schedules at a great price!!
Well-maintained facilities for tennis at a fair price.
This is a great place to play tennis and ice skating. Tennis and skate instructors are very professional and dedicated. This is because they love what they do. I will highly recommend this location if you would like to learn tennis or ice skating/hockey and make new friends!
Nice clean hockey arena. Serves beers!
No concessions so dont come hungry
They kept giving me the wrong size skates and the waiting area smells like a bathroom.
The indoor skating rink is great family fun. Its not very crowded, and the skaters are all very mindful, so its easy to skate even with little kids.
Love this studio! Great instructors. Great value. Lots of diverse classes. Really impressed by this Chicago Park District Offering.
I started skating here when I was younger. And the payoff was amazing. Now Im skating do Disney on Ice. This rink is amazing. Put in the hard work and the payoff will show in the long run. They also provide tennis and they have a gym.
Great place to do yoga. very friendly staff
Nice rink.
Loving my new yoga class! Small classes, personalized instruction. Hannahs Slow Flow class is excellent for getting back into the groove after a hiatus. Thank you!!!
Great place! Had my baby shower here! Very reasonably priced ava best off all FREE parking lot! Very friendly staff. They gave us almost 2 extra hours for free!
Big arena great for kids to skate
I remember ice skating in this years ago.
The most complete and best Chicago Park District facility.I play in a mens hockey league here and the ice is probably the best in Chicago, that includes Johnnys. We are last on the priority list for getting the ice but that is because there are great programs for kids including figure skating and the River Dogs youth hockey club.Beyond the programs there are open skating sessions and stick and puck on Sunday mornings if you would like to sharpen your hockey skills.Besides the ice rink there are indoor tennis courts, a gym with weights and now they even have yoga classes. It is well kept and seems pretty safe even late at night after our hockey games.Make sure to follow the facility on Facebook to get updates on the latest events or check their website frequently. It does cost money to use the facilities and take part in the programs so check the prices before you go.
Really affordable court rates, but thats the only special thing about it. Basically what youd expect from a public facility. Under construction too. There was no clearly visible clock on the courts so we had no idea how much time we had left.
Nice rec. center and affordable sports lessons. facilities are maintained well.
Staff at front desk is not friendly, they dont greet you like other places you go - maybe they are not being treated well. But it is good to have a place to play tennis during winter that you dont have to pay an absurd membership amount.
What a great ice rink! The staff is super helpful and friendly.
Love this place. Great staff. A valuable asset to the city of Chicago.
As a family, we enjoy spending time at the sports center. My wife plays tennis on the courts, the kids love the skating rink, and our oldest is a regular on the basketball courts. My only complaint is the amount of time it takes to get here because of traffic. This is our familys goto place when its too cold outside to play.
Took a yoga class here with some friends. Enjoyed it a lot... hockey rink looked nice too.
Cool place
Very nice and clean place
Well ran and maintained indoor Ice Rink. Low cost for rentals, vending machines and a small snack bar for refreshments..Simple and nice. Plenty of parking. .
They need the snack bar open
Sled hockey
Great park for skating, tennis!
Good location for the tennis and ice-skating, creepy bathrooms but otherwise ok place for the price
Nice place for handicapped
Great for both figure skating and hockey. Great teaching programs for both. Ample parking on premises
Staff did not give clear help
Play hockey here. Great rink, meh locker room.
Great location.And the staff restrooms nice and clean.
Went as a child and never was disappointed...Will bring my children there when they get older
Great location and facility for tennis and ice sports during the year
We go for ice skating. The rental skates are okay quality. We enjoy it every time we go
Great place to play tennis, or hockey, if youre into being in the cold..
Great public resource through the park district for tennis, ice skating and yoga instruction.
