loading map ...

Glencoe Park District was organized in 1912.
The limestone beach house and halfway house were built in 1928.
Beginning in 1933, the Park District and school district developed a supervised recreational program.
In 1978, the Park District moved to the Community Center located at 999 Green Bay Rd, formerly North School, through a lease agreement with the Glencoe Board of Education.
Watts Ice Center was renovated in 2000-2001. Two newly renovated refrigerated outdoor ice rinks were installed, and an indoor public viewing area and new program room were added to the Watts Ice Center building.
In 2003, the beach house at Glencoe Beach was renamed Adda and Paul Safran Beach House.
In 2005, the Park District rededicated Shelton Park and the Phil Thomas Memorial Playground. This project was made possible in part through a $327,000 grant from the State of Illinois.
In 2007-08, the Glencoe Park District renovated the 85,000 sq. ft. Community Center, now named Takiff Center.

Walking/Running Route

Walking can boost your energy, reduce your stress levels, lower your blood pressure, raise your HDL (good) cholesterol and reduce your risk of diabetes and osteoporosis. It’s a great way to lose weight, and the faster you walk, the more you burn.

If you do a 15-minute mile, for example, you will burn a little more than five calories a minute. Do the five-mile circuit on the map, and at that rate, you will burn about 375 calories.
