Recreation Oak Parkers just don't seem to sit still. They're too busy sharing common interests like gardening, history or the arts through more than 40 different organizations, service clubs and lifestyle groups. Opportunities to learn new skills in classes held days, nights and weekends for every age, can be found in every neighborhood -- from places to play pick-up or more organized games of tennis basketball, lacrosse, soccer, softball, baseball, football and hockey to walking, running, biking, skating and blading. Activities take place in and around 22 parks and recreational centers operated by the Park District, as well as in schools, the YMCA, gyms and fitness centers. In Oak Park, teens have their own programs, and their own outlets for expressing themselves and interacting with others. Seniors can fill their days socializing, traveling and enjoying retirement together. Programs in Oak Park cater to all residents, including those with development or physical disabilities. When it comes to recreational opportunities in Oak Park the question is not what to do, it's how to find the time to do it all.
