Oak Park has a very good youth baseball program. That's why their high school teams consistently do very well in the state tournaments (OPRF High School Girls' Softball team are '05 State Champs). You can find a baseball or softball team to fit your child's age group and skill level. They have standard Little League rules in place, so your child is guaranteed a certain amount of playing time in each game. I played in the softball leagues for more than 10 years. I had a lot of fun and learned important lessons about teamwork and competition.

The Wright Stuff

Frank Lloyd Wright must have been an amazing person. Great acomplishments and a fantastic career yes indeed. I like the tour of his former home and studio, but what really impressed me was the man himself. Learning about him was inspirational to me. He was not a perfect person by any means, but who is. His love for nature and how he integrated his homes and buildings to co-exist with the surroundings impressed me as well as his love for God and family.
I bought a map after my tour to see more of the homes that are in Oak Park. I went and saw about 7 more, they are alot in Forest Park,Il also.
The price of the tour should be a few dollars lower and the home should have some ventilation going thru it, it was too hot and stuffy in there on the day I went.

I have taken several art classes from the Park District of Oak Park and have enjoyed them all. Although the current fall schedule (2005) seems to be a bit light on the art offerings, what they do have is well worth the time and money. If you have ever wanted to take ceramics, for example, you will find that the Park Districts price is much lower then local art studios or colleges. The cost of the class also includes open studio time and materials. the instructors are fairly good- although they don't offer too much guidance and then don't assign projects. So if you like working independently you will enjoy the atmosphere.

Lindsey Gallery has, in my opinion, one of the best collections of artistic jewelry in Oak Park. They offer pieces from a diverse array of artists (local and international artists). Although at times the prices seem quite high to me, some of the pieces seem to be worth the higher price since they are mostly hand crafted and original. The Gallery also has a variety of decorative items and is even featuring a dollar table. Parking is easiest on North Blvd, just near the El.

Barnard's Schwinn has a wide selection of bicycles to choose from. They have a lot of children's bikes as well as adult bikes in stock. They will also measure you and make sure you buy a bike that fits you, and they will follow up after the sale to make sure you are happy with your purchase. Their maintenance services are great, too.

This place is very trendy and every time you go in, expect to have a professional job done well onto your hair. They are truly wonderful colorists and stylists. They are a bit pricey, but I do believe that they are well worth it. They have many amenities that they perform here. There are people to do nails, pedicures, facials and much more. Call ahead though to make an appointment because they do tend to become crowded especially towards the weekends. Expect first class service all the way.
