This place offers a variety of different things. Theres a turf field thats used for soccer and lacrosse, several baseball fields, a fairly good size skate park, and a playground. There are a few walking/jogging loops. A nice size hill for sledding in the wintertime.Its right next to a nine hole par 3 golf course and across the street from a newly built fitness center.
Great place to hang and workout and play. Great turf and baseball fields. One recommendation is to have certain time where you are allowed to bring bikes to use skate park as it would attract many more people. As the only reason I got to Techny is because of training, but I’d love to go all the time if you allowed bikes at the skate park not all the time but have certain times. Please keep this in mind. But anyways very nice place!!!
What an amazing facility! Several astroturf soccer fields. Plenty of parking
Nice s place. Skate park, fishing ponds, baseball training range and much more
My kid loves this place. Lots of activities and it is clean
Fantastic place to catch the sunset, get some fresh air, and meet the neighbors! The park even has a book box!! Each visit has been different. Sometimes the fields are filled with teams practicing. Other times, the trails are filled with people walking their dogs. And one time, there were people making snow angels just off the pond. I had a photoshoot closer to the sledding hill. Each visit has had just enough magic to keep me coming back! (oh and the grounds are very well kept. No trash or dog poop! Everyone is respectful!)
Missing basketball courts other than that fantastic park
This my first time. I am not from around here. This park is awesome. Full of walking loops with views. A batting cage, skatepark, golf course, and fishing areas. It is so well maintained. Freshly mowed grass everywhere and its so clean looking. So many places to sit. If you have time, it is definitely worth a place checking out at least once. This place is huge!
Great facility for the kids to participate in many sporting activities. Well maintained and seems to be getting even more space for interior events. During pandemic months, its a lot less crowded, but there are still individuals working out with paid trainers.
Very cute, out of the way park. Def bring sunscreen on the hotter days, since prairies by nature dont have much shade. Lots of other activities exist for those who enjoy sports as well.
Small gym, not a lot of equipment. The gentleman behind the counter today 9/24 was rude and unhelpful. For the price you pay here, you could easily find a better gym.
I started exercising and walking a little over a month ago. It all started here. This is an amazing park complete with five or six loop trails, a park, skate park, fishing pond and fields for various sports. You never get bored with so much to keep you occupied and not focused on the 4+ miles you have to accomplish. Btw... although the park is technically closed during the pandemic the restrooms are open and they are clean.
One of my favorite skateparks! Huge concrete park with bowls & transition skating in the middle. Boxes and rails along the border.
Park is perfect for all intermediate and up riders. My little brother had a hard time cause hes still learning basic tricks, but me and my friends had a great time their. HUGE BOWL, 10FT deep, spine transfers, and a bunch of fun little boxes.
A hidden glory: They have what they call a basin here, for flood runoff, but its enormous and gorgeous, like a valley in Wyoming. Theres a terrific sledding hill for running on, but occasionally big trucks and trains as well come by and ruin the air for a while. You could finish your run on a soccer field, paved trails or the grassy sides of the trails if you were interrupted.
Loved the turf fields. My sons loved the skate part and the endless amount of park space. Playgrounds galore, plus an abundance of grilling area. Picnic area, gazebo, just wonderful, maintained facilities. With that Northbrook property tax money, I would expect nothing less. One thing is certain, I appreciate the amount of assessibilty that this park affords. From football to baseball to soccer to lacrosse, fields aplenty. I didnt see a basketball goal, why am I not surprised 🏀😫
Great park for walking, skating, playing soccer or golf or just playing with the kids. Really has something for everybody including some relics to learn about past inhabitants of the area. Also, there is a couple baseball fields and batting cages.
Great family park!! Playground,turf soccer ⚽️ field, baseball ⚾️ field,skateboard park,golf,great walking trail. Peaceful aside from all the activities going on.
It’s basically one large bowl with grinding rails around the edge. It seemed to me like it was pretty cool but I don’t skate, my son however felt it was too much of one thing and not all that exciting. He felt the smaller parks in Roselle and Villa Park offered more variety.
Great path around the park and fields: relaxing walk - especially in the evening, despite other activities taking place : soccer, soft ball, golf, lacrosse, jogging and, of course, skating in the skate park. This place is just a walk away from downtown Northbrook, where you can get a bite or an icecream from Graeters.
Expansive park, good variety of biking and hiking paths, athletic fields, prairie, and interpretive walk. Even has water, fishing, and golf. Good connections to residential areas. Would benefit from a connection to the North Branch Trail and addition of more garden space.
Sponsored to beginner... Space for everyone. This skatepark is very well laid-out to help everyone keep out of the way of each other... which is critical. Tons of quarter pipe wall with constant grade and huge easy-in ramps. Excellent bowl with interesting cuts and angles. Cement in very good shape... Except for rough patches in the bowl. Massive perimeter track with great rails and Manny pads and tons of whoop de dos and ramps that go all the way around the park. Lighted skating til 10 I think. ;) Fave park in Chicagoland by far with only very rarely exclusive or unfriendly skaters.
Really nice park offering lots of activities. The skatepark can get crowded at times.
Best multipurpose park in Northbrook. Sled hill, 9 hole golf course, batting cages, skateboard park, turf fields, you name it. This park has it all and everything is is in great shape. Hope they make a smart move with the land they bought next door.
Beautiful park. The map looks a little bit like the State of Michigan lol. It’s like Techny is the lower peninsula and Meadowhill the upper.
Beautiful place to walk , relax and fish
Nice place for a walk or a run, some golf, fishing, playing with the kids at the park, or watching lacrosse, soccer, baseball or skateboarding. And in winter there is a sledding hill.
Beautiful park! Lots of walking paths and a huge playground for the kiddos. Tons of stuff to do. Cant wait go back!!
Good safe place especially for children. Great baseball fields well maintained. Easy to find, good parking.
Very good for playing soccer on turf. They also have a great looking skate portion of the park.
Best Skate part in the area. Really good bowls and verts. Good for all skating levels.
Small sled hill, really annoying parents. Too many people walking up the middle of the hill to launch their toddlers down the hill. Not a good experience.
Always a wonderful walk through Techny Prairie.
Nice turf soccer fields, beautiful park.
Probably one of the best skate parks in the entire north shore. Great mix of ramps, etc.
I like the batting cages. Wish you had a little lead time from dropping your token until the first pitch. Dont have time to even set up before that first pitch comes.
Fabulous skate park. Best in 30 miles.
Lots to explore and see, great for walking the dog. Wish they had guidelines on hours open. Im not even sure if those hours exist.
Great facilities! Batting cages are awesome and the slow pitch softball has a decent arc!
We love going here for family picnics and long, long walks on the trails.
Great place in Northbrook, hidden treasure I didnt know was there! Soccer fields, skatepark, golf, list goes on and on.
Great park lots of sports fields and nice walking path
Watched my granddauhter play soccer.Great fields and a nice skate park.
Sledding hill. Soccer field. Field hockey field. Baseball/softball fields. Playground equipment. Batting cage. Skateboard/bike park. All good.
Nice location if youre looking for a company picnic or fun event. Lots of spots to choose from but you must get a permit...
Great park for sports and lots of room for nature walks.
A place for everyone, baseball, softball, soccer, lacrosse, golf, sledding hill, hiking, biking, skate park, playground, batting cages.
Nice walking trial around the fields
Nice park, near some water and a golf course.

2022-04-29It is a very spacious and pleasant place, with a lot of vegetation (now not much because it is still cold) a good place to walk, run, grill meat and practice sports!
Review №3

Review №4

2018-03-24I took my 6 year old daughter here. We spent an hour in the skatepark, followed by an hour in the regular park. The equipment is great. Top-quality. The skate park is very big and has areas for all skill levels. Theres a paved loop for biking, and also a running track.

There is also a skate park for young people in the park, as well as a lot of walking paths for hikers. Whats also interesting is that you can also go fishing in the nearby lake. Summing up, this park is for everyone and everyone will find something for themselves !!

2021-07-08I havent walked the entire trails yet since it was rainy but I loved what I saw so far. Nice trails with a bunch of play fields for sports. Theres a little pond where you can fish or iceskate according to the season. Batting cages are also available. A playground for the little ones. Clean and well maintained restrooms.
