It’s easy to think that the lovely tree-lined street with large vintage Evanston homes translates into a quiet and sleepy town, but that is very far from an accurate depiction of Evanston. This well maintained city has an active culture that is constantly growing into new avenues. Below are just a few of the many outdoor activities and community leagues that you can take part in this summer!

Playgrounds can be found in some of the parks and are always a great summer activity for children! Perhaps your Evanston home doesn’t have enough outdoor space for a garden. Well, the parks department offers community gardens that can be rented out and shared with the community. For more information on the Evanston Community Gardens, visit the Evanston website.
