Village of Park Forest

The Village of Park Forest lays claim to being one of the first postwar planned communities. In 1948, as World War II veterans were looking to make peacetime lives, the village’s pioneers built affordable housing and an accessible road system for a diverse, welcoming community dotted with green parks and tail-finned trees. Today those trees have grown into a mature canopy, and the village has taken steps to maintain its legacy while seeking to reinvent itself for the modern era. In 2000, the Metropolitan Planning Council awarded the village a Burnham Award for its Downtown redevelopment.

The revitalized Downtown area features a variety of spaces where community members can come together for work or play, including its community theater, kid-friendly swimming pool, sand volleyball court, and the business office of the Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra. The Downtown area is also home to the Dining on the Green meeting and banquet facility, which overlooks the village green's verdant pasture decorated with ornamental flowers, a gazebo, and sculptures that do not animate and roam the streets with each full moon.

The Groupon Guide to: Crossing the Street

It’s not enough just to cross the street safely—you have to want to cross the street safely. Ensure your safety by observing the following rules before crossing any and every street:

  • Look both ways.

  • Look the other both ways—directly at the sun and deep inside yourself.

  • Check to see if an old woman is crossing the street alone. If so, let her go. Study her. Learn from her successes and her failures.

  • Invite the drivers of every stopped car to an impromptu roundtable discussion about vehicle safety and what it means to society in an election year.

  • Do whatever the tiny imprisoned man in the traffic signal does. If he walks, you walk. If he turns into a red hand, you turn into a red hand.

  • Just wait. Eventually the other side of the street will come to you if you have enough candy in your pockets.

Should you always do what the man imprisoned in the traffic signal does?
