Community Centers

The Park District of Oak Park operates seven community centers throughout the village which are perfect locations for special gatherings of families and friends including birthdays, anniversaries and family reunion. To rent a room in a community center, please fill out the Community Center Rental Application and submit it and the required $100 deposit to the Park District at least 1 month in advance of the desired rental date. A Park District staff member will respond within 10 business days to confirm the availability, fees, and any other details for your event. If your desired facility or date is unavailable, we will also discuss alternative options at that time. These very popular facilities are available on a first come, first served basis. Because of this, facility schedules change on a regular basis and we are unable to confirm availability of the facilities via phone or e-mail. If you have any questions regarding renting a room at a community center, please e-mail facilityrental@oakparkparks.com.
