No one enjoys the good life
better than the Southland. Whether seeking sports, recreation or the greatest
of outdoor adventures, Southland residents have huge opportunities in their own
back yard.
Some of the world's best golf courses, NASCAR racing facilities and
professional baseball and soccer teams highlight the recreational value found
in the Southland. Long the recreational area for early Chicago residents, the
Southland enjoys numerous public and private golf courses including three that
have hosted major PGA championships in their history.
Summertime in the Southland provides tremendous opportunities for fun in the
sun. With Lake Michigan beaches to our north, area fishing and camping
facilities throughout, the pristine areas of the Kankakee River Valley in our
southern area and the most extensive forest preserve areas in metropolitan
Chicago, the Southland is rich in opportunities for those seeking outdoor fun
and nature.
Young and old alike enjoy extensive year-round programs at local parks,
community centers and clubs. All four seasons feature numerous opportunities to
enjoy the recreational opportunities of the Southland.

The unique open space that Southland planners have guaranteed over the years
proves to be a highly valued resource for all those who work and live in the
region.
The Southland is always festive as residents of the region enjoy the diversity
that is unique to our area. Holding true to the roots of each community, area
towns host ethnic fairs, events that highlight their roots or just town-fests
that bring residents from all communities in the region. Whether you enjoy a
busy suburban park, winter recreational haven or the open rural hunting
experience, the Southland has all these opportunities close to home.
