Central Ave. 4412 Henry St. www.oakforestparks.org • 708.687.7270 Mission Statement To Our Residents:, Letter to the Residents We just completed the installation of the gymnasium wood floor at the Central Park Building. While the floor held up for 41 years, the system under the flooring had failed in numerous large areas resulting in us having no choice but to do a total tear out. We appreciate the patience of all while this project was in process and look forward to breaking in this new floor with all our program participants! Work will begin on replacing the parking lots at Jesk Park and Gene Leonard Park, the walking paths behind the Central Park Building and the construction of a walking path around the Don Burns Park in Gingerwood. We have refreshed our Health and Fitness Center, located at the Central Park Building - we offer a wide variety of classes and have a complete line of cardio and strength training machines. We are also home to Silver Sneakers, Silver and Fit and, Silver and Prime; check with your insurance carrier to see if you qualify for the benefit. Stop in anytime for a tour of the facility! We said goodbye to our Recreation Supervisor Stephanie McDonald. Stephanie was instrumental in working with our sport groups and bringing in a variety of programs. The Lagoon Fire Over the Water event every June, will always be a great reminder of the one of many events she brought to this District for families to enjoy. Thank you Stephanie for all you have given to this Park District! We also said our goodbyes to Matt Murtaugh, our Maintenance Supervisor for the Central Park Building. We considered Matt to be our very own “MacGyver”. Not only did he manage the everyday operations of the building, he was able to make many repairs around this building, which resulted in savings to the District. Thank you Matt for all your hard work and dedication to keeping us operational! Should you have an idea or talent that could be offered as a program we would enjoy hearing from you. If you are able to assist us with a special event we encourage you to call us.

As role models, parents must make a serious effort to take an active role in the youth sports experience of their child providing positive support as a spectator, coach, league official or board member. Demonstrating sportsmanlike behavior as a parent, a fan or a coach will teach our children how to demonstrate good sportsmanship toward others in their play. The Oak Forest Park District has a Code of Conduct for Players, Parents/Spectators and Coaches, outlining positive behavior and encouraging good sportsmanship. A copy of these are available at the park district upon request or to view online. In addition, the background of volunteers has become a national concern. To address this concern, the Oak Forest Park District has researched and created a volunteer coach background check procedure. The Board of Commissioners has a policy for all youth sport organizations desiring the use of Oak Forest Park District athletic fields and facilities. This policy requires that all coaches consent to a background check. Spring Sports Registration! The spring sports will do all of their registrations on the same day to help you save on time.
