]]>Supporting the local community is important to us here at Algonquin Square Apartments, and we like to feature local events that have an impact on the community and the people involved. With so many fun things happening and events around town, choosing one that supports a cause or helps people is a great way to give back and have fun at the same time.
The local daycare Kiddie Academy is hosting a Field Day event benefiting the organization Family Promise.
Not only is Kiddie Academy a daycare, but they offer educational child care to help kids reach a higher potential and grow into outstanding members of the community. Kids learn and grow in their interactive environments with things such as family-style meals, designated learning times, and curriculum focused on the present moment and growth as time goes on. They learn character development, decision making, outdoor play/fitness, communication skills, and much more.
Family Promise has partnered with them to host this special event on November 6th and have a field day for everyone to come and enjoy the outdoors and participate in games and fun.
Family Promise is a national organization with a local community and city-based focus to fight homelessness and create spaces for adults and children. They fight crisis before it happens, and help people secure housing when it does.

]]>From a fully functional clubhouse with its own resident lounge and kitchen to a pet-friendly community with an enclosed dog park, we have everything you need as a resident and more. Standard amenities also include a 24-hour fitness gym, as well as an outdoor swimming pool and sundeck, complete with its own poolside grilling area and shaded poolside lounge with plush seating. But it doesn’t stop there.
What makes us at Algonquin Square stand out from other luxury locations is the fact that we are located in an area lush with outdoor recreation – all within walking distance from the community. Here’s a list of some close-proximity outdoor amenities that our residents have grown to know and love:
-
Recreational Parks
Algonquin is surrounded by fun and cozy recreational parks, giving our residents the chance to frolic and be a part of the community anytime they please. From the vast and community-friendly Ted Spella Community Park to the quaint but bike-friendly trails crossing through Deerpath Park, our residents constantly enjoy great places where they can meet members of the community and have fun while doing so. Ted Spella Community Park, for example, is a great place to gather. Featuring sandpits, gazebos with complete seating, a basketball court, and even a sledding hill, everyone is sure to enjoy every single visit.
-
Forest Preserves
The areas surrounding Algonquin Square are ripe with forest preserves. Imagine going out of your luxury apartment for a brisk walk and ending up in the middle of a lush, green forest, perfectly preserved by local authorities and well-maintained to ensure a perfectly natural experience. Close to our community at the Algonquin Square is the Brunner Family Forest Preserve, a large nature preserve complete with trails amid woodlands and wetlands. We suggest taking a stroll through the preserve and visiting their farm store, where they sell all kinds of natural, locally sourced products.
-
Lakes and Rivers
Dotted all across Algonquin are small but peaceful lakes, providing our residents with their weekly dose of water-related activities. You can visit the lake over at Echo Hill Park and splash around with the family at the lovely Indian Trail Beach. You can also take walks along the nearby Fox River as you emerge from the lush groves of the Brunner Family Forest Preserve.
-
Bike and Walking Trails
Of course, no nature-loving community is complete without your conveniently placed bike and walking trails and paths. Enjoy a brisk walk alone or with loved ones, or ride a bike and rush through the parks and preserves surrounding our apartment home. Everything is within access because our community is expertly located among multiple convenient paths that help foster a community of active and happy residents.
So what are you waiting for? Our amenities at Algonquin Square are not limited to what you can find inside the luxury community. We love our location because our residents can take advantage of several outdoor recreational facilities available in the community, proving that we don’t just pay attention to detail inside the apartment home, but to the outside as well. See for yourself and enjoy the luxury lifestyle that only the apartments at Algonquin Square can provide.
