We want your input! The Glen Ellyn Park District is in the process of completing a blind survey, conducted by aQity. The survey was sent randomly to households within our boundaries. If you received a copy, we encourage you to take a few minutes to complete the survey to help identify opportunities to add to or improve facilities, parks, events, and programs. If you did not receive a copy, but would like to share your thoughts and opinions, a link to complete the survey is available here. Your feedback is invaluable to the District, and we appreciate your attention to this very important project for the community.
