Partnering with the Elmhurst Park District offers an affordable and effective way to reach Elmhurst residents while also supporting your community and helping to improve the quality of events and programs offered by the District. Support from local businesses helps the District offer activities and events that provide our residents the opportunity to spend time together, have fun, meet new friends and build community. As a largely tax-supported agency, sponsor funds can help offset event costs, making it possible for the District to increase event and activity offerings. For questions and more information call (630) 993-8182 or contact the Partnerships Coordinator.
