The new Longfellow Park playground is going up, and it is looking FUN already! Did you know? This playground will feature the tallest slides in Oak Park! Plus, there will be plenty of climbing structures, a dedicated tot area, and an extended splash pad with spray features. Check out some mockups of what the final playground will look like in the video. Construction is estimated to be complete this fall.

We've got a useful new feature at Rehm Park! Try out our new water spigot, great for rinsing off feet, toys, or anything else that gets sandy from the time in the sand courts.

As a reminder: please do not use the water fountain to rinse, as the sand clogs the drain. Thank you!
