Community Services/Non-Profits in Forest Park, IL

“It's a beautiful site to visit and you can get everything you need there for the day. I go there on Sundays for the speaker meeting and the breakfast beforehand and I always leave with food for the soul because you only get to live one day at a time.”

“Great place to start gymnastics. We have younger children that started gymnastics with TriStar in spring and by end of summer they are able to do many new things like cart wheels, flips and climbing ropes and other skills on equipment with assistance. I'm not looking to make my children competitive gymnasts but give them opportunities to try something and get some skills. I think the staff here do an excellent job and connect really well with the kids.Location is an old former warehouse so it is a bit remote and sketchy, building is dusty sometimes cold or hot because it is a huge space.”

“I've had the opportunity to find myself up in Forest Park in the last year. Some people refer it as the Oak Park's stepchild, it really isn't it surely doesn't have as much however why should it? It's smaller. What it does have, is a nice small town main street feel on Madison Ave. starting at Harlem going west. Here you have a mix of diner's to casual eateries, an independent coffee house, and a couple of franchises, some bars, a hipster brew pub that serves up really good food, a liquor store, a place that teaches archery, and a bakery that specializes in brownies along with some healthy treats. Surrounding this you have a mix of single family and multi-unit homes that remind me of the Oak Park next door, you also will find a mix of condos, some were built in the early 70s those are value priced, however newer builds are coming up with indoor heated garages, etc. Overall prices and taxes are lower. The area is serviced by Pace for buses, however the real perk is the Blue Line ends here making commuting to the city a breeze. A surprising nice area close to Oak Park and the city. An afternoon is enjoyable, and I could almost live there, if only it were on the lake. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY IT WAS CHANGED TO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE? NOT THE WAY I PUT IN THE REVIEW, I HAD NO DEALINGS WITH THEIR COC.”
