Hustle Aerobics, the recreation department of Oak Park offers such a wide variety of individual and team classes and sports that you could be busy every evening and weekend.

You can find classes for babies to seniors, all with the intent of encouraging a healthy lifestyle. Many of the courses take place at the Oak Park Community Center, yet swimming is held at the Oak Park High School Indoor Pool, and other programs meet at one of the city parks and facilities located all over town.
