Permanent heated restroom in Eldridge Park

Eldridge Park Restroom Building ribbon cutting

Join Elmhurst Park District in Eldridge Park on Saturday, April 11 at 10 am for a ribbon cutting to celebrate the completion of the Park District’s first referendum project to break ground – a permanent heated restroom building at Eldridge Park.

A year of momentum: Advancing the referendum projects

The Elmhurst Park District’s voter-approved referendum in November 2024 launched a major investment in the future of parks and recreation in Elmhurst. Throughout 2025, the District advanced the six referendum projects designed to meet growing community needs and provide enhanced amenities for all ages. These include a new Wagner Community Center, four permanent heated restroom buildings, conversion of a grass field in Berens Park to artificial turf, and a new community bandshell in Wilder Park.

Together, these investments will shape the future of recreation and community gathering for decades to come.
