Have you ever stopped to think about how parks are designed? Vergne Way Park, right here in Oak Forest, is something special. This beautiful 4.1-acre park at 153rd Street and Lavergne Avenue is a testament to the careful planning that went into creating a space for the community. William Le Baron Jenney, the original architect of West Park System, envisioned these spaces with dense plantings, generous lawns, and amenities for recreation. The park is filled with native plants and trees, creating a natural feel. There are also dedicated areas for play, including a playground, a tot lot, and an inline skate area. And, of course, there is a basketball court for the more competitive folks. The park is a testament to the importance of recreation and community, and, in its own way, it echoes Jenney’s vision for West Parks. There are also benches to sit on and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Enjoy the green space and take advantage of the park’s facilities!
