PARK BOARD MEETINGS T he Park District of Forest Park Board of
Commissioners meets the third Thursday of each month. The meetings are
held at 6:00 pm in the Administrative Building and are open to the public. If
you wish to attend and require a special accommodation, please call the Park
District at 708.366.7500.
SPECIAL THANKS The Park District acknowledges the cooperative efforts
shown by the Village of Forest Park, the Forest Park Public Library, School
District 91, and the Forest Park Community Education Council in contributing
to recreation programs. Without their cooperation, we would not be able to
offer the programs that we do!
PHOTOGRAPH POLICY P hotographs are occasionally taken during Park
District classes, events, and league participation. Please be aware that these
photos are for Park District use only and may be used for promotional purposes.
If your picture has been taken and you wish that it not be used, please contact
the Park District Main Office.
CANCELLATION POLICY Classes will not run without the minimum number
of participants advertised. We try to give advance notice of cancellations, so
if you wait until the last minute to sign up, the class may already have been
cancelled due to low enrollment. Please sign up at your earliest convenience!
For more information on our cancellation policy, please see the registration
information on page 35.
CO-OP PROGRAMS In an effort to reduce program cancellations, we have
embarked upon a cooperative program with two neighboring park districts,
River Forest (RF) and Oak Park (OP). This allows each community to participate
in a number of the others’ programs at resident rates. You can register for any
of these programs at the Administrative Building. Look for the ‘co-op’ next to
the class name to signify a joint program.
WE’RE NOT PERFECT T he Park District of Forest Park reserves the right to
change or alter information printed in this publication, such as policies, fees,
times or locations. We try to give as much notice as possible for these changes
and apologize for any inconvenience.

Ten and Under Tennis
A revolutionary change in the way kids 10 and under learn
and play tennis, as well as compete, is happening across the
country! Tennis is following the formula that the majority
of youth sports have used for years – tailoring equipment
and courts to a child’s size and age so that they develop
skills and have fun right from the start! 10 and Under Tennis
incorporates the QuickStart Tennis play format so that kids
learn, rally, play and compete in a way that is more fun,
keeping them coming back for more!
