Centennial Park | Elmhurst Park District

Playground area with blue-and-brown slides and climbing bars, a swing set, and a few people near the equipment under trees and a clear sky.

Children run and play on a sunny outdoor splash pad while a group of people stands near a shaded pavilion with a green roof. Benches and equipment are in the background.

Centrally located in Elmhurst, Centennial Park features a playground, geyser fountain, picnic shelter and adult fitness equipment.

The geyser fountains are programmed to run seasonally 10 am-6 pm and will turn on sporadically for brief time periods, 2-3 times an hour. There is no outside button to activate them.

The park was developed in 2022.
