History
The land was donated to the City of Elmhurst in the 1940s, but was not developed into a park until 1979, with dedication in 1981. The City began leasing the property to the Park District in 1978. After purchasing adjacent property, the Park District expanded the park in 2022 to include more seating areas and gardens while a contest was held to name the turtle statue. The winning name was Myrtle.
