Oak Lawn, IL is a not just a village but also a community where neighbors take pride in knowing each other. Residents gather during village traditions like the Pet Parade, the Irish Fest or the Pumpkin Festival. Families get together for active recreation at the Park District that stretches more than 300 acres. The park provides walking trails, outdoor swimming pools, playgrounds, basketball, volleyball, and tennis courts, baseball fields, and of course the 18-hole Stony Creek Golf Course. There’s also the indoor Ice Arena for skating and ice hockey.
Aside from the big tornado that hit Oak Lawn in 1967, the village is typically quiet and peaceful. However, accidents can still happen no matter how secure and prosperous a community is.
