Oakton Community Center

Skokie, I gotta hand it to you… your park districts rock. I went here recently for a family party and was thoroughly impressed with the facilities. They rented a huge room for the party and it was perfect, especially for the children. The facility features include:
–Kitchen
–Indoor and Outdoor Playground
–Classrooms
–Meeting/​Party Room Rentals
–Water Playground
–Skokie Festival of Cultures
–Senior Lounge
The indoor playground, Exploritorium, was called Chicagoland’s «Best Rainy Day Activity Site» by Chicago Magazine. This interactive playground includes arts & crafts, costumes, building blocks, a water play area, two and a half story tubes and tunnels, and more.
Adjacent to the community center is the Skokie Water Playground. They have three slides, a zero depth pool with play equipment including a water play structure with large bucket, lanes for lap swim, a locker and shower area and lifeguard facilities, concession stand, turf and suntan area. Seriously, where was all this when I was a kid? *pouts* Well done, Skokie, well done.
