To the Elmhurst Community, It seems hard to believe with so much snow on the ground and frigid temperatures, but spring is just around the corner and we’re anticipating a busy season. We look forward to the return of many of our popular events and programs, which were postponed or cancelled last spring. Returning this year is a modified version of our Egg Hunt, which will take place on the ball fields at Berens Park on Saturday, April 3. Bring your basket and join in the hunt! Registration will be required, to help maintain social distancing. If you’re looking for a more personal experience, check out our new You’ve Got Egged program, which will bring the egg hunt straight to your door! This brochure also features 2021 Summer Camp information so you can start planning ahead. From day camps to sports camps, you’ll find a great summer experience for your family. This summer, we’re also looking forward to reopening East End Pool, Smalley Pool and the spray ground at The Hub! The tentative plan is to reopen the spray ground on Saturday, May 29, East End Pool on Saturday, June 12 and Smalley Pool on Saturday, June 19. All three facilities will require advance reserva- tions. Learn more about the pool reopening plans here. Looking further into this year, we’ve included a calendar of 2021 events in this brochure to help you plan for some Park District fun. The Park District will continue to follow COVID-19 restrictions for our region, so modifications to these events may be required as the year moves forward. Be sure to check epd.org and our Facebook page to keep up-to-date on our latest plans. I look forward to the return of spring and the chance to get outside and enjoy our parks. I hope you find something in this brochure that helps you look forward to the coming season as well!
