Bruce Ream Park was redeveloped in 2017 through an OSLAD Grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. It includes a playground, splash pad, shared-use path with fitness stations, sand volleyball court, sled/exercise hill, basketball/bankshot/pickelball court, soccer turf improvements, and parking lot improvements. We also received grant funding from the Kane County Riverboat Grant for the playground equipment and trees at this location.
This location is great for your family gathering under the pavilion near the playground and splash pad. Check out our rental rates and contact us at 847-683-2690 for availability!
