Did you know it has been more than 50 years since the last Park District referendum? Much of the Park District’s present land was purchased at that time, along with new park development. With aging facilities, high program waitlists and building spaces that do not align with the community's needs, additional funding is necessary to address current community priorities. Visit https://www.epd.org/elevateelmhurstparks to learn more about Elevate Elmhurst Parks priorities and potential projects.

Did you know the Park District’s tax rate comprises only a nickel of every dollar? The dollar graphic below illustrates the portion of a single dollar the District receives versus other taxing bodies, such as Elmhurst School District #205, the City of Elmhurst, Elmhurst Public Library, College of DuPage, York, and Addison Townships, etc. The District cannot complete large-scale priorities with the current level of property taxes levied and existing debt capacity limits.
