Longfellow Park Renovation

The Park District of Oak Park was awarded a $600,000 Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) grant, which will be used to renovate Longfellow Park.

The updated park will include:

    • Four dedicated pickleball courts
    • Expanded splash pad
    • Sensory garden
    • New playground and equipment

Renovations are estimated to be complete in Fall 2026.
