Oakton Community Center — Attraction in Niles Township

I learned to swim here. It was the greatest thing my Father taught me. I love to swim & it's very good exercise. We have such a short summer to use the Tennis Courts, baseball diamond, walking path & other pastimes offered at the park but fortunately if you ask for a schedule of upcoming events at the park or around town there is something for everyone around town. There plenty of parking & picnic tables that used to be spread around the park. My little league memories had my family at a table behind the dug our eating BBQ. the table seem to be only next to the parking lot. Stay clear of the smoking lounge at the southeast corner & don't waste your breath telling the men the parks are...

I can't speak for others or other classes... But for us, Puppy class was horrible... Could not hear the instructor at all. When I called, they told me it would be fine for my 6-7month old puppy but it was not a class for older puppies and it was horrible... My dog was choking on her leash to try to play with all the other puppies and the instructor didn't offer any advice. My wife and I left half way through the first class... Will not be going back... Also the "class" is more for someone that has a 1-3 month old puppy. They should have said "no your dog is too old for this class" and they should ask more behavior and/or weight questions...

My middle child almost drowned when she was going towards the deep end about a month ago and the life guard spotted her and saved her life ! I own them my daughters life im very grateful to the life guard coordinator and management there . i dont know their names because i left and was in shock to really say many words. it took me a while to wrap my head around what happened as a parent and made me realize i need to teach my kids how to swim. I recommend anyone to go to this water park because the staff cares about everyone no matter what race. You are . they do not discriminate....
