Celebrating in Oak Forest
Where Oak Forest hosts use concessions
Oak Forest is a suburban village of ranch homes, split-levels and tree-lined subdivisions, centered on the Metra Rock Island station and the 159th Street corridor. The Oak Forest Heritage Preserve, on the site of the former Oak Forest Hospital of Cook County, gives the village green space. The Metra station and quiet cul-de-sacs make it easy for guests to reach the village from the city or neighboring suburbs.
Backyard open houses
Graduation and communion parties often use tents and long tables. Measure first.
Concessions here: Concession machines need a level table and an outlet; popcorn and cotton candy machines each use a standard circuit, so avoid sharing it with a bounce house blower.
Forest preserve picnics
Nearby preserve groves need Forest Preserves of Cook County permits. Ask about vehicle access.
Concessions here: Parks without power need a generator for concession machines, and some do not allow food stands without approval.
Park district events
Pavilions need reservations. Check with the Oak Forest Park District or city.
Concessions here: Parks without power need a generator for concession machines, and some do not allow food stands without approval.
