Celebrating in Northbrook
Many Northbrook homes sit on generous lots, which makes tented backyard parties common. Others are in subdivisions where the cul-de-sac is the party. Cook County forest preserves and the park district’s Meadowhill and Techny Prairie parks offer open space, and hotel and banquet rooms along Lake Cook Road and Waukegan Road are common for larger events. The Techny Prairie Park area and the Skokie River corridor give Northbrook plenty of green views behind backyard fences.
Large lots suit bar mitzvahs, graduations and summer parties. Confirm tent space and access before you finalize.
