The Glen Ellyn Park District has served the recreational needs of Glen Ellyn residents for over 100 years. We play a vital role in enhancing people’s lives and creating a more connected community. The District also serves as an important steward of public lands.
Over the years, many facilities and open spaces have been added to the Park District’s holdings to meet the growing needs of our community. We maintain 29 parks for community use, both for unstructured and programmed recreation. The District also operates 21 playground structures and maintains 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.
The District takes pride in providing high-quality recreational experiences. Each year, we offer more than 700 programs and special events for you and your family to enjoy. You will find program offerings listed in our seasonal Playbooks. Our programs are affordable and convenient for everyone.
