Recreation To build and maintain a healthy community, The City in the Suburbs offers a variety of active options to keep their recreational spirits alive. Elgin is filled with a variety of parks throughout the city. Festival Park in downtown Elgin beckons with a casual walk along the river and children splash in the kid-friendly fountain.

The newly transformed Highlands of Elgin Golf Course was recently rated as a top golf destination by Chicago Golf Magazine. Wing Park Golf Course is a popular established course, while Bowes Creek Country Club is Elgin’s newest top-rated course. Businesses and nonprofit organizations take advantage of these great facilities to do business and make friends.
