Bolingbrook Recreation & Aquatic Complex — Local services in Bolingbrook

The facilities are decent if not spectacular. But good luck trying to use them.

The facilities are consistently "blocked off" for league play. However, the leagues have very limited membership, leaving the facilities empty.

For example, the official Park District Racquetball League books all 3 racquetball courts from 6 PM - 9 PM Monday - Thursday. But the league membership is quite small, and I have never experienced the league using all 3 courts.

The third court is consistently empty everyday of the week, but is "blocked off" anyway, just "in case" leaguers decide to show up.

As of February 2011, for the past 10 consecutive weeks, there have never been enough league players to merit blocking off all the courts.

A group of guys and I have wanted to use the empty court on multiple occasions.

"No I'm sorry, that court is blocked off," w’re told.

Unfortunately I’ve had two situations where staff has never returned calls about services. My husband tried to sign my son up for swim classes and was placed on the waitlist. We received a call that there was availability to register and called back the same day, but had to leave a voicemail. We never received a call back regarding confirmation or otherwise, even after calling a second time to express interest. I also submitted an application on Nov 7 to rent a room on Jan 6. I was told applications were processed at the end of the month, so I expected to wait a bit. I still haven’t received any response as of 12/19, despite my husband and I both calling and leaving voicemails with the executive director requesting an update on the application. This has been really frustrating.

Update 12/21: I received a follow-up email from Chris apologizing for the delay. He also offered to waive the deposit fee. I cancelled the request because it is too late to get out invites and RSVPs, but I was happy to finally hear...
