YOUR ENJOYMENT...<br />

The recreational needs of our communities are met by the area’s many park districts, as well<br />

as by the Cook County Forest Preserve System. In addition to the numerous athletic fields,<br />

basketball and tennis courts, picnic shelters, playgrounds and golf courses, well over 500<br />

unique recreational programs and activities are available throughout the year and appeal<br />

to all age groups. There are also many private recreational facilities available. In terms of<br />

area entertainment and cultural attractions, we offer a wide variety of restaurants, theaters,<br />

festivals and sporting events that occur throughout the year. Add to this our close proximity<br />

to the Brookfield Zoo and the City of Chicago and you have an unlimited world of enjoyment<br />

at your doorstep. Shopping in our communities is a pleasurable experience highlighted by a<br />

wide selection and convenience. Specialty shops are complemented by national chain stores,<br />

discounted outlets and antique malls. The area’s malls, shopping centers, downtown business<br />

districts, supermarkets, gift shops and boutiques offer an unlimited variety of products and<br />

services. Consumer-oriented retail businesses play an increasingly significant role in our local<br />

economy. Throughout the year, many of the area business districts, shopping centers and malls<br />

sponsor a variety of interesting events such as craft shows, holiday walks, sidewalk sales, fairs<br />

and more. The <strong>West</strong> <strong>Suburban</strong> region is also home to a wide variety of restaurants designed to<br />

satisfy every taste and budget. Whether you crave a very elegant dinner at a fine restaurant, a<br />

quick meal at a fast food restaurant chain, ethnic cuisine or American classics, we have it all. <strong>West</strong>ern Springs<br />
