Olympia Fields Opens New Park This Saturday

If you've driven on the section of Governors Highway just north of Lincoln Highway, you (or your child) may have noticed an empty area slowly evolve into a park.

Tolentine Park was approved by the Olympia Field Park District Board more than a year ago, and is a welcome addition to a list of parks enjoyed by residents and non-residents of Olympia Fields.

Saturday, the Park District will cut the ribbon on the new park, offering concessions and free gift bags to attendees. There will be raffles, a scavenger hunt and even a splash pad.

The Park District would like to make sure attendees know that only handicap parking will be allowed at the grand opening. All others should park at and ride the free shuttle to the event.
