The Oak Brook Park District is a separate government from the Village of Oak Brook.

Facility and event totals are patron or attendance counts, not unique resident counts, and include nonresidents.

Park District acreage, Village Sports Core land, forest-preserve land, and CMAP open-space acreage are not added because boundaries and classifications can overlap.

No library circulation or visit totals are published here; the latest IPLAR extracts were flagged by the Illinois State Library as unsuitable for publication.
