Looking for a unique place to host your next gathering, celebration or team event? The new Oakton Sports Complex offers a variety of private rental opportunities designed for team sports, birthday parties, corporate outings, family celebrations and community groups.

The state-of-the-art facility features a flexible indoor athletic field that can be reserved in multiple configurations to fit your group’s needs. Whether you need the full 60-by-60-yard turf field, a half field or quarter field space, the facility provides an ideal environment for practices, games, clinics and training sessions.

Ice rentals are also available on both the main rink and the smaller studio rink, making Oakton a great destination for groups. Reserve ice time for practices, competitions or special events.

Beyond athletics, Oakton Sports Complex also offers attractive multipurpose rooms for meetings, parties, showers and private gatherings. Rental spaces include tables, chairs, televisions with A/V hookups, public wifi and kitchenettes equipped with amenities such as refrigerators, microwaves, sinks and coffee makers. Guests may also add access to the outdoor patio, a welcoming gathering space featuring a beautiful fireplace.

For families planning birthdays or celebrations, Oakton’s party packages provide an easy and memorable experience. Ice skating party packages include private studio rink access, skate rentals, skate aids, a dedicated party host and optional skating instruction. Athletic field parties allow guests to enjoy organized fun on the turf field with the choice of a sports theme, mini ninja warrior or nerf battle theme. All parties are combined with private room space for food, gifts and socializing. Catering options through the facility’s concessionaire are also available.

With modern amenities, flexible spaces and exciting activity options, Oakton Sports Complex has quickly become one of Park Ridge’s premier destinations for rentals and celebrations.

Foodie spotlight dish of the week: Steak frites at Foodie spotlight dish of the week: Steak frites at @cafe.touche in Edison Park (you’ll find this dish featured in our big fall issue)

Touché’s version of this Parisian staple is a thick 12-ounce NY strip or eight-ounce filet, cooked to your liking with a bordelaise (wine-and-marrow-based brown sauce) or au poivre (bold, creamy peppercorn pan sauce), all with a pad of butter melting over the top as it arrives at your table. Worth mentioning, too, that Wednesdays are half-price bottles of wine at Touche, and martinis are $8 on Thursdays.
