Eldridge Park, Elmhurst, IL

Eldridge Park occupies 16 acres in central Elmhurst and is bordered by residential streets on three sides, giving homeowners direct walking access. A 0.6-mile paved loop circles the park’s central lawn and connects to the Illinois Prairie Path, allowing residents to reach downtown Elmhurst or the Salt Creek Trail without driving. The park includes six lighted tennis courts, two full basketball courts, and a fenced playground with separate zones for toddlers and older children. A 2-acre retention pond supports seasonal fishing under a City of Elmhurst permit and draws migrating waterfowl visible from the shoreline path. Picnic shelters, grills, and restrooms are grouped near the parking lot on the south end, while mature oak and maple trees provide shade along the northern edge. The park is 0.4 miles from the Metra Union Pacific West line station and less than a mile from the Elmhurst Public Library and York Community High School athletic fields.
