Central Park West

This is a great place to unwind with toddlers/smaller kids. Not too busy, have the bigger sandlot playground at the front when coming in the park , this playground is situated more in the back. Have a playground with soft cushion flooring, have a nice walk path going to around and hitting the lake, have a pickleball court, good parking. The Oakbrook park is actually super big and it is subdivided into smaller parks.

We rented this space for our son's first birthday party (~100 guest) and it was spectacular. The venue has a great vibe to it with the high ceilings and natural light. The staff was very professional and attentive to our requests while the party was underway. Definitely recommend this venue for your party needs!

Poor choice of catering. Food delivered to Main Building by caterers error, and it took 40 minutes to get it over to us at CPW. Warm food just not warm, no attempt to keep it warm was made. Did not appreciate the infomercial that began the event.

I rented this space out for my baby shower and everything was great! I couldn’t have asked for a better location. Kate was amazing and very responsive to my emails. If you want to book I recommend reaching out via email. Their website is clear with the booking process and prices too.

Like a mini Morton Arboretum, the central park west in Oakbrook is a pleasant experience. The various sponsors who enabled the lighting and the use of modern technology makes the walk in the park a great experience. The added advantage that it's free to the public, less crowded and shorter makes it a quick trip. There's ample parking and the walk starts right away and ends back at the parking lot.

On a gentle evening like Christmas day this year, the weather was great and not too chilly or windy. A must visit for people who love walking, outdoors, trees, nature and of course lighting.

I've been meaning to post this and this is long over due. I hosted my 10 year wedding anniversary here. The space is really pretty, I was going for a rustic theme and this truly accommodated me. I comfortably fit 90 guests and was a able to have a bartender, a sweets area and a dance floor. My event was in March which was still chilly, they have a nice outdoor fireplace area. I had 5 round large tables and 10 high boy tables. My coordinator didn't respond in a timely matter which did cause concern, my floor plan wasn't as I requested luckily there was enough time to make adjustments. The young man who was there overseeing everything was super nice an attentive. Highly recommend this venue for a budget friendly event.

Clean and well lit. The space would be excellent if it was just a bit larger, had a proper bar, and a space for a bride/groom to get dressed. Bathrooms are clean but can stand to be upgraded. Parking lot recently seal-coated and painted. Great party venue, for smaller summer and fall events. For a wedding, we will need a bigger space.

Large park with lots of amenities for various activities.. still few areas under construction (kids play park, slide hill).
