  • District Foundation: Content and initiatives from the Glen Ellyn Parks Foundation.
  • Intergovernmental and Public Agencies: Applicable content from local, state, and public agencies.
  • Sanctioned Civic Ceremonies (Non-District Run): Information regarding long-standing, non-commercial civic ceremonies that occur at District facilities but are organized by third-party volunteer or civic groups (e.g., Veterans Day, Memorial Day, and the 4th of July Fireworks).

Note on Private and Commercial Entities: The District does not post or share content for private businesses. Any in-kind support or donations provided are intended as a gesture of community goodwill and do not establish a marketing partnership or affiliation.
