Andersen Center & Park 824 Hayes Avenue, Oak Park, IL 60302

"I like to sit here & read when the kids aren't playing soccer. There's plenty of benches in this hilly park. Besides soccer, there's public grills & a playground area. Lots of dog walkers & baby walkers if you like to do that."

"This is a nice small neighborhood park. located on quiet block and also has a sprinkler water feature there which is lots of fun on a hot day. It started raining a bit while my nieces and I were there so it made the slides extra slippery those girls were sliding off super fast. Which only made it a bit better. We also had a picnic up on the small hill in the park it was a perfect spot and the girls found a restaurant style booth as part of the playground equipment and had their lunch up there. All in all they had a great time!!"

"My boys had a great time here! Not a huge playground but lots of fun and good clean equipment. The water area was really fun to the children also the dogs who visited. Community and others were friendly as well too. Benches close enough to view whole playground. I'm not sure if the bathrooms were open or not. There is also great grass areas if you wanted to have a picnic. Will definitely return."

"Very nice park. Brought my kids and a few friends with their kids yesterday and while sitting in the car watching the children play a lady came and decided to release 3 big dogs in the park where the children were playing. When confronted about it she had a real snobby attitude and said "just because you guys are Black doesn't mean anything". "Play in your own parks" I was actually shocked but after she left the police mysteriously showed up and parked at the end of the block until we felt uncomfortable and just left the kids were sad but I would rather them not experience anything that could be avoided. Will not be recommending this park to any one I know no matter the race. Her attitude was totally unacceptable."

"Andersen Park has great amenities to host parties, events and camps. Center is well equipped for all types of occasions. Park is well maintained for kids of all ages. Great neighborhood park."
