Garden Plot History

The Elmhurst Park District has worked cooperatively with the City of Elmhurst to assist with storm water management. As part of the cooperative effort, the west portion of Golden Meadows Park was sold to the City for use as storm water detention. This portion of Golden Meadows included the garden plots.
