Dear Park District Patrons,

Building a strong community through inclusion and diversity is a pillar of the Park District of Oak Park. 

The Park District stands in support of black and brown people who are suffering under racial inequity that divides our country and many communities. We are committed to taking positive actions that build more inclusive and supportive programs and places that help ensure the health and wellness of all our residents by providing all a place to belong.

The Park District supports the position of the National Recreation and Park Association’s response to systemic racism across the country.

Please read the NRPA statement here.

Stay healthy. Stay safe.

Jan Arnold
Executive Director, Park District of Oak Park

The Park District has planned an abbreviated day camp program for children ages 3 years to 9th grade with your child’s health and safety as our utmost concern. In addition to traditional day camp, the Park District is offering a limited amount of SCAW camp offerings as well as Chess Scholar and LEGO camps. There is even a Virtual Camp called “Camp in a Box!”   Registration for all Oak Park residents opened on Monday, June 1. Spaces are still available in several camp locations.   If there is availability later in the summer, camps will be opened to non-residents.
