Senator Michael Hasting ensures degraded former Tinley Park Mental Health Center to be revitalized into a sports park in new law

State Senator Michael E. Hastings spearheaded a measure through the Senate that would allow Tinley Park’s Park District to renovate a degraded building into a sports park and recreational space for residents in the community to utilize.



“Tinley Park is a great place to raise a family, yet all this empty space has been ignored for over a decade,” said Hastings (D-Frankfort).

“This has been an eyesore for the community, and something needs to be done about it.”

The former Tinley Park Mental Health Center site located on a 280-acre plot of land has been vacant since 2012.

It’s located in the southwest corner of the stadium at 850 southwest 26th Street. Among the reasons OSU had for taking this step was to prioritize the wellness of its students and faculty. 

The center isn’t just for OSU. The university also collaborated with Samaritan Health Services. Samaritan is a non-profit healthcare system. They saw this opportunity to collaborate as a way to expand their system.
