McFetridge Sports Center (MSC) is owned by the Chicago Park District and it's one of the busiest because it has a host of family-friendly activities. It has the Park District's only indoor ice rink and six tournament-quality indoor tennis courts which allows more than 2,000 patrons each week to train year-round for competitive ice skating, hockey and tennis programs (those who want to use it for recreational purposes are welcome, too). Additional features include a fitness center overlooking the ice rink, Illinois' first wheelchair baseball field, NHL-size ice arena with seating for 1,200 spectators, 50-yard outdoor pool, four outdoor tennis courts and four outdoor basketball courts. Forgot your skates? The place has ice skates rentals as well as locker rooms and showers. The center is accessible to people of all physical abilities and there is an adjacent parking lot for those who choose to drive here.
