Turf Fields

Now featuring 7,000 square feet of artificial turf, this versatile space supports a variety of programs including tot sports, indoor soccer, archery, golf lessons, camps, and birthday parties. The turf can be divided into six sections with netting, allowing up to three fields to run at the same time.

Parkour

Programming Area

River Trails Park District is proud to be the first park district in Illinois to offer a dedicated indoor facility space for Parkour. Parkour is a dynamic discipline that combines elements of gymnastics, street acrobatics, and free running. It can be compared to American Ninja Warrior, military obstacle courses, and CrossFit.

Our parkour programs focus on running, jumping, catching, rolling, flipping, tumbling, martial arts, strength training, and more. Participants enjoy a variety of specialized amenities, including a foam pit, climbing wall, warp wall, walking beams, and jump boxes.
