McFetridge Sports Center — Attraction in Jefferson Township

The most complete and best Chicago Park District facility.

I play in a men's hockey league here and the ice is probably the best in Chicago, that includes Johnny's. We are last on the priority list for getting the ice but that is because there are great programs for kids including figure skating and the River Dogs youth hockey club.

Beyond the programs there are open skating sessions and "stick and puck" on Sunday mornings if you would like to sharpen your hockey skills.

Besides the ice rink there are indoor tennis courts, a gym with weights and now they even have yoga classes. It is well kept and seems pretty safe even late at night after our hockey games.

Make sure to follow the facility on Facebook to get updates on the latest events or check their website frequently. It does cost money to use the facilities and take part in the programs so check the prices...

Great facility. I've been going to this place on and off thru the 30 years I've lived here b in Chicago.

I had a great experience with Tyriq (Spelling?) the other day. He provided me with excellent customer service. He's polite and helpful. Thank God he was there to help with my needs. Otherwise I would have wasted a good portion of my court time.

Tariq THANK YOU once again for your excellent...

Update: It would appear that there is an age bias here. They shunt anyone over 55 into slow boring classes and won't allow advanced instruction. And for those that like to play indoors with friends, now they added pickleball courts making the already difficult process of reserving a court almost impossible.

Good place to start if you have never played tennis before. But don't expect advanced...
