In-Home Personal Training in Edison Park

Edison Park grew up around a railroad that arrived in the early 1850s, and its first homes were large houses. In the 1950s, builders filled the remaining empty lots with brick bungalows, according to the Encyclopedia of Chicago. CMAP's snapshot shows about two-thirds of housing units are single-family detached homes, while about 16 percent sit in buildings of five to nine units. A bungalow basement and a condo living room call for different setups, and your trainer plans for whichever one you have, arriving with the equipment your program needs.

The Chicago Park District calls Brooks Park, on Harlem Avenue just south of Touhy, its most northwestern park. Its 9 acres include two baseball fields, a soccer field and tennis courts, which leaves room for sprints, agility drills and carries. The local park district that built it, formed in 1913, also bought the land for Oriole Park to the south in 1931. When you want trees instead of ball fields, Caldwell Woods on Devon Avenue has a sledding hill and an entrance to the North Branch Trail system, with paved and unpaved routes along the river.

Metra's Union Pacific Northwest line stops at the accessible Edison Park station on Olmstead Avenue, one stop from Park Ridge and one from Norwood Park.
