Teams visiting North Park University are welcome to utilize the Carlson Athletic Training Facility, located on the bottom floor of the Carlson Gymnasium building at 5148 N. Kedzie Ave. This facility is just down the hallway from North Park's visitor's locker-rooms and will be open two hours before most competitions, except for baseball/softball/tennis where AT services will be available at the event venue. This facility has standard resources such as ultrasound, e-stim, ice, heat packs, foam rollers, and stationary bike. On the sideline for most events, you will find a water cooler, water bottles, treatment table, injury ice, biohazard disposal, splint bag, and AED. If you are traveling to North Park without a licensed athletic trainer and require AT services, please email in advance a treatment/taping request letter to Eric McQuaid, Assistant Director of Athletics - Athletic Healthcare, at emcquaid@northpark.edu.
The nearest emergency department is located three blocks away at Swedish Covenant Hospital (2739 W. Foster Ave). The nearest pharmacy is Walgreens (4343 N. Kedzie Ave).
If you have any additional needs or questions about athletic training services, please feel free to contact Eric McQuaid, Head Athletic Trainer, at emcquaid@northpark.edu.
