They is has been the local recreation area in town my entire life. From going to the old Oak Lawn Family Days Carnival in the parking lot in the late 90s, to biking 5-6 miles on the trails, to slugging softballs into the neighboring ball fields on a Friday night; The Park District makes a perfect go to local meeting spot year round! Most of my visits are during the summer to enjoy the outdoors and people watch; but there is a full gym, walking track, basketball court and more inside the main building for year round activities. Centennial Pool is also located on the property for those looking to beat the summer heat. There’s an admission price to the pool, but it’s cheaper if you’re an Oak Lawn resident!
