What Makes Bartlett Unique?

• Swaminarayan Temple - On August 8, 2004, the BAPS organization, a sect of Hinduism, opened BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, Chicago, a large 22,442-square-foot temple, or mandir, on Illinois Route 59, just south of U.S. Route 20. Covering thirty acres, it is largest traditional Hindu mandir, of stone and marble, to be constructed in the United States. The mandir took 16 months to build and was constructed with Turkish limestone, Italian marble, and Indian makrana marble. The adjoining cultural center, known as the Haveli, was opened in October 2000. The large complex contains large rooms with intricately carved walls of stone and wood. It attracts many visitors of all faiths.   
• Bartlett Park District - owns or leases more than 380 acres of parklands, and conducts a comprehensive program of sports, recreation and activities for residents of all ages and abilities. Hikers, joggers and cyclists enjoy using The Bartlett Trail, a wide, paved pathway that extends more than eight miles through the community. The Bartlett Community Center provides a year-round facility that includes two indoor swimming pools, a state-of-the-art health and fitness club, as well as numerous activity rooms, and is conveniently situated in the heart of the village. A Skate Park and Disc Golf Course are the newest outdoor attractions.
• Bartlett Hills Golf Club - the golf course has been reshaped over the years to complement both the improvements demanded by today's golfers and to take advantage of the beautiful rolling terrain that area players have come to recognize as one of the Chicago Suburb's finest golf values. This 18 hole course includes a full service clubhouse and restaurant. This course is funded primarily by user fees and, in part, by a small portion of the property tax bill.
