About the local event

Centennial Park in Orland Park. IMPORTANT- Please note, there are multiple entrances Centennial Park the GPS will oftentimes take you to the incorrect location. The correct Centennial Park entrance is located off of West 153rd Avenue, just west of Palos Primary Care Center. If you enter “Centennial Ball Field 9, Orland Park IL, 60462,” in your GPS, that will take you to the correct area in the park. There will be directional volunteers stationed near the entrance. Please contact Lauren Scheibe at [email protected] or 708-967-5449 with questions or to get started!
