Elmhurst Park District

Elmhurst Park District Board members and staff commemorated the newly redeveloped Berens Park tennis courts with a ribbon cutting last Friday, September 18. After wrapping up their team practice, the York Community High School Girl’s Tennis Team also joined in the celebration.

The Elmhurst Garden Club is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, and the Elmhurst Board of Park Commissioners offered official congratulations by approving a resolution commemorating the occasion at its September 14 Park Board meeting.

For decades, the District has partnered with the Garden Club in numerous ways that enhance the parks. In 1981, they established and continued to maintain the Herb Garden in the Wilder Park Formal Gardens, adding to the destination’s diversity and beauty.
