to Glen
Ellyn and the Glen Ellyn Park District. The Glen Ellyn Park
District was established on November 3, 1919 as an independent
governmental agency. Since that time numerous facilities and
open space have been added to Park District holdings to meet
the growing needs of our community.
The Glen Ellyn Park District’s year is divided into
three seasons: Fall, Winter, and Spring/Summer providing
over 700 programs year 'round serving infants through seniors.
Each brochure highlights a wealth of programs and special events
for all age groups and interests. Seasonal events such as National Public Lands Day celebration at Churchill Park, Lake Ellyn Cardboard Regatta, Family Fun Night Touch a Truck, Polar Express and Freedom Four 4-Mile Run are just a few
of the cornerstones of recreation programming your Park District
offers you and your family.

Ellyn Park District’s 31 parks are meticulously
maintained for the community's use in both unstructured recreation
and for programmed events such as Youth Soccer and Softball.
