     History
    Opened in the 1970s as an attraction for the trailer-homes surrounding it. Next door was a go-kart track, batting cages, an arcade, and a driving range.

    In the 80s the go-kart side of the park closed due to competition from nearby Marriott's (now Six Flags) Great America theme park, leaving the miniature-golf side remaining. In 2005 the miniature golf closed due to pressure to repave the parking lot to come within village code.

    Four years later the west course was restored and operated for another three years, while the go-kart side was ultimately demolished. Toward the end of the 2012 season, it closed again and remains so today.

    In 2016 the golf course was demolished. All that remains is an overgrown empty lot.
