The Glenview Park District has fieldhouses located in thirteen parks that may be rented for private parties, meetings and special occasions when they are not being used for organized park district programs. Each fieldhouse is equipped with a fireplace, stove/oven, refrigerator, restrooms, and enough tables and chairs to seat the maximum size group allowed in that fieldhouse. There is also an outdoor charcoal grill adjacent to each fieldhouse. (Users must provide their own charcoal).
Fieldhouses and picnic grounds may be rented from 9 am until 9 pm unless special written permission is granted. Fieldhouses may be rented until 9:30 pm on Fridays, Saturdays, legal holidays and the night before legal holidays. Parks which do not have buildings have "dusk" closings.
There is a maximum group size limit for each fieldhouse and picnic area. Exceeding the limit is grounds for forfeiture of the deposit. Picnic permits, for groups of 10 or more, for parks without fieldhouses must be obtained at Park Center, 2400 Chestnut Ave. The permits are free of charge.
You will receive a complete set of park usage rules and regulations at the time you pay your rental fee. Please be advised, however, that loud music and alcohol are not permitted in any park district park or fieldhouse. Dogs on leash are permitted on paved pathways only in the following parks: Countryside, Cunliff, Diederich, Flick, Hawthorne Glen, Indian Trial, Ladendorf, Rugen and Sleepy Hollow Parks and on the perimeter walkways at Roosevelt Park, Swenson Park, West Fork Park and Community Park West.
The Forest Preserve of Cook County provides a play area for unleashed dogs. Click here to visit their website for more information.
