More than a year after a fire destroyed the Oak Forest Bowl, the owner said it is not now feasible to rebuild. The May 2023 fire destroyed the 32-lane bowling center, 15240 S. Cicero Ave., leaving virtually nothing intact except for its outdoor patio area called The Park, which featured sand volleyball courts and bean bag courts. While the rubble from the fire has all been cleared, the vacant lot looks much the same as plans to rebuild have lagged. Owner Keith Tadevich said insurance matters, among other factors, are hindering plans for the former bowling center’s future. “Considering all the factors, unfortunately at this time it does not seem feasible to rebuild,” Tadevich said. Oak Forest city administrator Tim Kristin said because the property is privately owned, the city is not involved in the site’s future, but has offered assistance.
