The Park District’s Administrative Building was opened in 1938 and was built by the Works Progress Administration. It has undergone facelifts over the years; the most recent being a renovation and addition completed in 2009. The building is now home to many of our program offerings. Additionally, there are rooms on both floors available for public rental.

In 2018, the Park District of Forest Park opened up the Roos Recreation Center. The RRC features a full-size gymnasium with a walking track, a Fitness Room, lockers rooms with showers, and a multi-purpose room. The outdoor area features a fitness trail with three exercise stations, a pavilion with berm seating and a tween/teen playground.

The park also has three softball fields, a synthetic-turf multi-use field, a playground, six tennis courts, two bocce ball pits, two sand volleyball courts, a skate park, an in-line skate rink and an aquatic center with four slides and a sprayground. Many of the Park District’s facilities are available for rental.

ABOUT THE PARK DISTRICT

While the village has undoubtedly changed in the 85 plus years since the park district was formed, the staff and board of commissioners still remain committed to providing the community with a beautiful park, modern facilities and quality programming. The Park District of Forest Park was established by referendum and was entered into the records officially on November 14, 1934.

The Park District provides a variety of leisure activities for people of all ages throughout the year.

Park District facilities include an Administrative Building, the Roos Recreation Center, Baseball/Softball Fields (3), Batting Cages (2), Bocce Ball Courts (2), Day Camp Building, In-Line Skating Rink (Outdoor), Maintenance Garage, Outdoor Aquatic Center, Outdoor Sand Volleyball Courts (2), Playground, Soccer Field (Outdoor), Skate Park, Tennis Courts and NFC Fitness Court.

The Park District of Forest Park has cooperative agreements with local School District 91 for joint use of facilities and is a member of the West Suburban Special Recreation Association (WSSRA), an organization that provides year round programming and services for our residents with special needs.

In 2019, the Park District of Forest Park celebrated 85 years of service to the residents of Forest Park. For more information about the Park District of Forest Park, give us a call at 708-366-7500 or visit us on Social Media!
