Wheaton Park District

I (and my family) enjoy the facilities of the Wheaton Park District. My two very energetic children never get tired of visiting the animals at Cosley Zoo and swimming at the pools. While I take my yoga class at the fitness facility in the Community Center my children are cared for my the great staff at Kidz Kingdom. They alway tell me how much fun they have. Yes, I am a fan!

I think the classes that we pay for through the park district is ridiculous. If you are thinking of putting your daughters in ballet don’t do it through the park district. I’m sorry but dancing with dolls is not ballet. I was very disappointed. My daughter learned more at a ballet academy in Yorkville. I rather drive all the way out there than go through the park district.

Are you feeling crabby today? Maybe you should apply for a job with the Wheaton Park District! There are plenty of crabby ladies who work here which make you VERY motivated to register on-​line and avoid dealing with them. As far as the programs offered by the park district go, some are great, some are not. The athletic program is run very well and they have some great policies about dealing with UBER sports parents. The swimming facilities are clean, but I don’t understand why the Northside Park pool closes about 2 weeks before labor day. You have to be careful with some of the summer camps, some have way too many high school kids running them without enough supervision. I had this experience with Sports and Shorts. I did complain after hearing that my kid sat and watched the «counselors» shooting baskets, but got no refund or even an apology. I can’t comment on the Fitness Facility since I haven’t used it. So talk amongst yourselves before signing up for something!
