Park Board President David Kindler (seated) signs an agreement transferring the ownership of all seven Community Centers from the Village of Oak Park to the Park District of Oak Park, as Park Board Commissioners (from l to r) Marty Bracco, Mark Gartland, Christine Graves, and Tom Philion look on. This event had been discussed and considered sporadically during the past 50 years of Park District history. With the completion of the Park District’s Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan and the recommendation of the Park District Citizen Committee, the Park Board moved forward to make this historic event a reality.
