From the reviews

…Community rooms that can be and are used by all kinds of groups, and the walking track is always busy, but not too busy. Wonderful facility--Thanks Palatine Park District!

★★★★★ — Jason, Jan 2017

…the other side is basketball courts with a running track overlooking the courts. Great for adults and kids activities.

★★★★★ — Kevin, Feb 2016

…The track above is great in the cold weather for indoor walks. 4 star instead of 5 because of the lazy Sunday hours ! !

★★★★☆ — Brian, Jul 2025

…we have rented rooms and had two parties there, which were wonderful, and both my husband and I use the walking track. Of course, for us, it helps that it is literally in our back yard. We walk our dog there three times a day, every day. Always clean and well cared for... We love Falcon Park!
