About Recreation Park

Recreation Park's brick Tudor-style community center building, built in 1937 as a Works Progress Administration project, anchors this centrally located Arlington Heights destination serving all ages. The park features an Olympic-sized outdoor lap pool, three lighted tennis courts, and a newly opened skate park. Visitors can play on a premier pro-style baseball field, soccer field, and basketball courts, or use the bike and walk paths looping through the grounds. The community center houses preschool programs, fitness classes, and various recreational offerings. Picnic areas with shelters, playgrounds for ages two through twelve, an ice rink, and grilling facilities round out the amenities. The park hosts the Frontier Day Festival and draws residents from across the community throughout the year.
