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!
