From the reviews
I really like PARC for the walking track, which has a separate fee if you only want to access the track. That's perfect so we can walk/run on bad weather days. I know a lot of reviews here drag the park district for not adding an aquatic center, saying swimming lesson bring in money.
…Nice indoor track and sports courts.
