Help us fund the Glen Ellyn Downtown Community Park! The park will be developed in phases. Funds raised for Phase 1 will help us provide a children’s nature play area in the park, a seasonal chilled ice-skating rink, and a welcoming landscaped plaza on Duane Street.

Donations in any amount are gratefully accepted. Donations at the Gold, Silver and Bronze levels will be recognized on permanent signage at the park in addition to level-based benefits. Donations at the Legacy Brick Level will be recognized with an engraved brick paver within the park.

Ordering information for Legacy Bricks, $1,500 each, will be available in November, 2025. See Gold, Silver & Bronze Donor Level Benefits here.

For further information, or to make a Planned Gift, please contact Susan Smentek, 630-942-7251, ssmentek@gepark.org.
