About Margate Fieldhouse — park fitness center
Margate Fieldhouse is a park fitness center described as slightly better than other park district centers, with a building that is not five-star but where people build their bodies with great success. It features a very popular playground with bridges, zebra crossings, and slides for children of various ages, plus swings, tables, and benches. The park offers clean bathrooms, a baseball diamond, a drinking fountain, and is noted as dog-friendly and beautiful for relaxation. Reviews mention caring people and a caring environment, with nice people and a good cleaning crew. However, a 2024 paving project is criticized for paving over drains, which may cause flooding.
The newest paving of margate park in Aug 2024 paved over all of the drains on the side of the path - they are useless drains. Simply the newest mediocrity of Chicago construction. You can't make this up... And no one is going to do anything about it - the park will flood everytime it rains now. Good job...
People here are very nice and we have a good cleaning crew. Yes building is not a 5 star but I'm building my body here with great success and help from others. Come and join us.
Caring people, Caring environment, this is a not for profit faith based facility with staff who remain for years. An administration and Board of Directors all very involved, dedicated to ensure Self Help provides up to date and attentive care to residents and patients. My mother, who had dementia, was a resident the last years of her life and Self Help made those years good and enjoyable for her.
