Park District of Forest Park to receive OSLAD Grant for Reiger Park

The Park District of Forest Park Board of Commissioners and Staff are excited to announce that we are the recipient of a $400,000 OSLAD Grant. The Park District applied for this grant in the fall of 2021. This grant will help fund the renovation of Reiger Park. The planning phase has started and will continue into the fall, with construction to begin in the Spring of 2023.

We want to thank our residents for their input and support during this process. We would also like to thank our Representatives in the Illinois General Assembly for protecting these dedicated funds, and for continuing to make the OSLAD Grant program one of its top priorities. We are also very grateful to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources for their ongoing efforts and commitment to ensuring these dedicated matching grant funds are awarded for much-needed park improvement projects that benefit our community.

ABOUT THE PARK DISTRICT

While the village has undoubtedly changed in the 85 plus years since the park district was formed, the staff and board of commissioners still remain committed to providing the community with a beautiful park, modern facilities and quality programming. The Park District of Forest Park was established by referendum and was entered into the records officially on November 14, 1934.

The Park District provides a variety of leisure activities for people of all ages throughout the year.

Park District facilities include an Administrative Building, the Roos Recreation Center, Baseball/Softball Fields (3), Batting Cages (2), Bocce Ball Courts (2), Day Camp Building, In-Line Skating Rink (Outdoor), Maintenance Garage, Outdoor Aquatic Center, Outdoor Sand Volleyball Courts (2), Playground, Soccer Field (Outdoor), Skate Park, Tennis Courts and NFC Fitness Court.

The Park District of Forest Park has cooperative agreements with local School District 91 for joint use of facilities and is a member of the West Suburban Special Recreation Association (WSSRA), an organization that provides year round programming and services for our residents with special needs.
