Orland Park Community Pages

A project of the Orland Park Public Library.

From humble beginnings more than 100 years ago, Orland Park has grown into a dynamic and progressive community of more than 56,000 residents. Located 30 miles southwest of downtown Chicago, Orland Park has a unique quality that makes living and working enjoyable. Year-round recreational opportunities abound in the area, including thousands of acres of Forest Preserve with hiking trails, bridle paths, bike paths, and wildlife refuges; an excellent park system that includes a multi-million dollar aquatic center; and more than 20 area golf courses. Residents also enjoy an excellent library, a diverse array of housing, plentiful shopping, nationally acclaimed schools, and close proximity to Chicago's many attractions.

The local history of Orland Park is available from the Orland Historical Society.
