Weekend Ideas in Oak Lawn
Oak Lawn is a southwest suburb with more than 300 acres of parkland and a genuinely busy weekend calendar. Wolfe Wildlife Park offers a quiet nature break, and the Children's Museum in Oak Lawn is a favorite for families. Evening concerts at the Village Green round out the season.
Oak Lawn is served by Oak Lawn-Hometown School District 123 and Ridgeland School District 122 for elementary grades, feeding Oak Lawn Community High School District 229 and Community High School District 218.
