Free Saturday and Holiday Parking in Oak Park

Save those debit cards for shopping at local businesses.

Shoppers, rejoice.

Parking in Oak Park's three downtown village garages will be free on the weekends through Dec. 24. (OK, it's already free on Sundays and the only time parking will be free on a Friday is on "Black Friday," but still.) 

There are three village-owned parking garages in Oak Park shopping districts: The Lake and Forest garage located at Lake Street and Forest Avenue, the Holley Court Garage at Marion and Ontario Streets and The Avenue Parking Garage at Oak Park Avenue and North Boulevard.
