Elmhurst Park District

Get a visit from Whoville’s very own Grinch this holiday season! The Grinch will stop by your front yard (or your friend's or neighbor's) and leave a “You’ve Been Grinched” sign with a small grinch-mas gift. That’s right, you can send Mr. Not-so-Jolly to someone else’s house as a surprise! Grinching will take place the week of December 8-11 between the hours of 4-6pm.

The United Community Concerns Association (UCCA) is inviting the community to help fill holiday food boxes by donating food items from November 3-30 for the Annual UCCA Holiday Food Drive. The UCCA provides food and referral services to Elmhurst District 205’s most financially disadvantaged children and their families in an effort to fight hunger.

Donations will be accepted at Park District locations, including Courts Plus, Kies Recreation Center and the Park District Administrative Office.

Join us for the next step in shaping the future of Wilder Park! The Elmhurst Park District invites the community to an open house to review two concept plans for the Wilder Park South Master Plan. These new concepts were developed based on feedback from the first open house held in July, results from a community survey, and input from the Park Board.

FREE! Get your game on and play with the whole family this winter at Family Open Gym at the Kies Recreation Center. Every Sunday November 2-December 28, 2025, 10:30am-1:30pm. Ages 3-14 with adult.
