The Oak Park Event Hub will include a farmer’s market/community event center, amphitheater, memorial garden and open space, creating an environment that will bring the Oak Park community together to socialize, shop local and learn valuable skills. The COVID-19 pandemic brought to light the food insecurity that many residents in Oak Park face, along with the true importance of community.

The City has diligently worked to support its residents, particularly those most adversely affected by the pandemic through partnerships with Forgotten Harvest, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, Meals on Wheels and other resources that provide stability and security. However, we know we can do more.

The Oak Park Event Hub will expand the accessibility and inclusivity of programming for health and connectivity of the Oak Park community, with emphasis on Oak Park’s family and senior communities.
