The Kane County Board Office and the Kane County Health Department, in collaboration with Cook County and the City of Elgin, will launch a vaccination site at Elgin’s Eastside Recreation Center, located at 1080 East Chicago Street, Elgin, IL 60120. It will open Wednesday, April 7, and operate six days per week. Exact days and hours are still being coordinated and will be partially based upon vaccine availability.

“The City is proud to host a vaccination site in Elgin and support all of the counties’ efforts to help get as many Elgin residents vaccinated as quickly as possible, especially our underserved population that will benefit from this site’s ideal location,” said Dave Kaptain, Mayor of the City of Elgin.

The site will offer free COVID-19 vaccines to all eligible Illinoisans. For vaccinations administered at the new Elgin location, registration is required. Residents can get appointments by going to www.kanevax.org or by calling 855-4-KaneVax.

We are truly disappointed to say that the Eastside Recreation Center will remain closed this year (2021). We appreciate all our loyal members, patrons, and guests who have become part of our ERC family over the years and hope to serve you again in the future.

As uncertainties associated with group recreational activities persist and minimum wage increases, this year's parks and recreation department operations will continue with many of the reduced service levels first established in 2020, which includes keeping the Eastside Recreation Center and Lords Park Pool closed this year.

During this time, ERC fitness members can use the Edward Shock Centre of Elgin’s fitness facility. If you have time left on your ERC membership from when we closed in March – you can use those days towards your membership at The Centre or request for a prorated refund of your remaining days.

For membership questions or any other information regarding the Eastside Recreation Center, please email Brett Lind at [email protected] and Santiago Cervantes at [email protected]

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Update - ERC will remain closed through December. If you are interested in using your membership to work out at The Centre of Elgin during this time - please email Brett at [email protected] to get started. We will keep you updated with any changes and information on our re-opening.
