Longfellow Center, Oak Park, IL

Longfellow Center sits on a 10-acre campus at 520 S. Maple Ave. in Oak Park, anchored by a recreation center that houses a fitness room, gymnasium, indoor track, and multi-purpose rooms for fitness classes. Adjacent to the center, the 4.3-mile Illinois Prairie Path runs through the property, giving residents direct access to a regional trail network that connects to the Des Plaines River Trail and the 61-mile Salt Creek Trail. The site also features two lighted tennis courts, a playground, a picnic grove with grills, and a community garden. Oak Park’s central business district, with its Metra Union Pacific West line station and CTA Green Line stop, lies five blocks north, while the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio and the Oak Park Public Library are within a half-mile walk. The surrounding residential streets are lined with mature oak and maple trees, and the center’s open lawns and athletic fields provide unobstructed views of the skyline to the east.
