Welcome to the Glen Ellyn Park District! Established in 1919, we have been serving the recreational needs of Glen Ellyn residents for over 100 years. As an independent governmental agency, we play a vital role in enhancing people’s lives and creating a more connected community. We maintain 29 parks, 21 playground structures, and over 300 acres of open space for community enjoyment, recreation, fitness, and leisure.

Our facilities include Ackerman SFC, Lake Ellyn Boathouse, Holes & Knolls, and Sunset Pool. At the Glen Ellyn Park District, we take pride in providing high-quality recreational experiences. We offer over 700 programs and special events each year for individuals and families to enjoy.

Our program offerings can be found in our seasonal Playbooks, and they are affordable and convenient for everyone. The Park District is tax-supported, with taxes supporting approximately 45% of our operations. We are governed by an elected Board of Commissioners and serve the Glen Ellyn community located in DuPage County, just 23 miles west of Chicago.

Join us today and experience the benefits of a vibrant and active community!
