The Barrington Park District offers several rental venues.
Located off of Northwest Highway and Lake Zurich Road in Barrington is Citizens Park. This 45-acre park was the site of the old
Jewel Tea Company. It is an award-winning park and was officially dedicated in 2007. Citizens Park offers the Jewel Tea Pavilion,
The Lodge, Pepper Family Treehouse, Robert Soule Amphitheater, and picnic shelters. All of these venues continue to be a very
popular setting for weddings, picnics, corporate events, and special social events. 3 Chefs Catering’s experienced and professionally
attired service staff can provide site set up, cleanup, and guest services. To add that extra touch, we can provide on-site catering chefs
or other culinary staff. 3 Chefs Catering will coordinate all details to make your event enjoyable.
