Schaumburg Park District

Don’t go to Meineke’s Adult Open Volleyball if you don’t like seeing whole teams being discriminated against because they don’t play perfectly. Drove an hour for the worst open volleyball experience ever. So glad other places are full of kind people who let everyone join in because it is OPEN volleyball. I was ashamed of the people there who absolutely refused to play with one of the teams because they aren’t as skilled, leaving that team to play with no one. Never again. There were enough people for 4 teams. You play a couple and then you switch. People refused because they didn’t want to play with this polish team. They weren’t horrible! So they couldn’t slam their spikes down! Who cares? The volleyball snobs would rather rotate 3 teams, having obviously one team sitting out while they wait to play the winner, while the polish team is on a court by themselves.

Great customer service! I just called the Schaumburg Park District to transfer one of my daughter’s classes. Friendly staff answered and transferred. No trouble at all! My new receipt will be mailed to me (hopefully before the next class starts). Would’ve given 5 stars if they emailed the receipt to me right away and I had proof of the successful transfer already in hand. All in all, very pleased.

Since it’s been, well, 25 years since I’ve used the Schaumburg Park District facilities or classes for myself, I’ll write this review from the eyes of my toddler but the language of an adult. You’re welcome for that last part — she’s still working on speaking complete thoughts and sentences.
Parks: The parks throughout Schaumburg are plentiful and well maintained. I’ve been impressed with everything from the well manicured soccer fields to the varied kiddo equipment.
Classes/​Offerings: This is where I think there could be the most improvement. There are a lot of working parents out there with small children and I’ve only seen a very small handful of cool classes for wee ones (6 months-​2 years) on Saturdays. The offerings definitely skyrocket after the age of 2, so I’ll be looking forward to that come spring. Additionally, I (speaking from a pregnant woman’s POV) have seen little to no prenatal or postnal targeted fitness offerings. People in Schaumburg are having babies, right? There’s a need for focused classes like these!
Pools: Meineke is well loved as is the CRC. I haven’t made it to the water parks yet, but my kiddo has much enjoyed the indoor pool (and toddler swimming class) at the CRC.
Facilities: Meineke underwent a pretty cool renovation years back, so their fitness equipment and layout are much improved. If the class offerings were a bit more varied for adults and small kids, I’d probably use the facilities much more often right now.
Website: The other area that could use a facelift. The actual website is fine, but the online registration is clunky, cumbersome and super antiquated. The search function isn’t great nor is the flow to sign up for classes.

Love it! The people who work there are very caring and you have no trouble registering or getting a refund. The facilites are nice, well maintained and clean. I have been to several parties at the Sports Center and my son had his Bulls Basketball clinic there. The CRC is the main facility and has a wonderful swim program with lot’s of times available. Tennis Plus faciltiy is spacious and inviting.
