40 Parks in 40 Days - Margreth Riemer Reservoir

40 Parks in 40 Days is a series highlighting the parks of the Palatine Park District. Additional photos of our 40 Parks in 40 Days series can be found at www.facebook.com/palatineparks.

With 91 acres of land, Margreth Riemer Reservoir is Palatine Park District’s third largest land area, behind the Palatine Hills Golf Course (175 acres) and Hamilton Reservoir (94 acres). The land was originally acquired in 1979 through a lease with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District. The lease was renewed in 2004. In 1986, a $56,281 OSLAD Grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources was obtained for development of the park. Riemer Reservoir includes a newly expanded 18 hole disc golf course, access to the Palatine Trail, a 20’ X 36’ shelter and a sled hill.

Plum Grove Reservoir is also home to the 1.2 acre fenced Palatine Park District Dog Park. Dog Park Registration is held in December for the following calendar year.

Local Voices contributor Joan Scovic is the Marketing & Sponsorship Coordinator for Palatine Park District.
