We're making way for the Playground for Everyone at Butterfield Park!

First step is removing the old playground equipment, which is happening today thanks to Kids Around the World, a non-profit agency that repurposes playgrounds and rebuilds them in developing countries that do not have the resources to provide playgrounds on their own. The Elmhurst Park District has worked with them previously to repurpose playground equipment from Wilder Park and Washington Park.

Butterfield Park will be closed throughout the summer and will reopen with a grand opening event on Saturday, November 5, 2016.  The celebration is planned for noon and all are invited to attend.
