Rain halted our plans for this year's Family Fall Fest, but we'd still love to celebrate Halloween with your family!
All the littlest ghouls and goblins are invited to come to Safety Town for trick-or-treating on Halloween, Tuesday, October 31, from 1:30-3:30 p.m.
Start your Halloween festivities early and give the younger set a chance to practice their "trick-or-treat!"

Construction is complete, and the Elmhurst Park District is excited to announce that by 12:30 this afternoon, the redeveloped Plunkett Park playground will be open for play! Stop by the playground for a preview and be sure to join us November 4 for the grand reopening celebration.
The Elmhurst Park District will institute a District-wide tobacco ban on November 16, 2017 in conjunction with the American Cancer Society’s Great American Smoke-Out, an event that encourages people to quit smoking.
For the eleventh year in a row, the Elmhurst Park District has earned the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) Distinguished Budget Presentation Award. In order to receive the award, the Park District had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation that assess how well an entity’s budget serves as a policy document, financial plan, operations guide, and communications device.
Visitors to Berens Park and East End Park will soon have more room to run, play and picnic. Green space will be added to both parks this fall as part of the Park District’s goal to improve and maintain open space for Elmhurst residents.
Two single family properties recently acquired by the Park District, 447 W. Armitage Avenue (located adjacent to Berens Park) and 207 N. Hampshire Avenue (located northeast of East End Park), will be demolished and restored to open space during the week of October 10, 2017.
