Glos Memorial Park, Elmhurst, IL

Glos Memorial Park occupies 28 acres in central Elmhurst, providing residents with direct access to organized baseball and softball fields, lighted tennis courts, and a fully accessible playground. A 1.2-mile paved loop path encircles the park, connecting to the Illinois Prairie Path for extended bicycle or pedestrian travel. Picnic shelters with electrical outlets, grills, and adjacent restrooms accommodate group gatherings, while a small pond stocked annually for youth fishing adds a seasonal activity. Mature oak and maple trees shade the open lawns, and seasonal plantings along the entrance drive create defined sight lines. The park lies within a half-mile of York Road’s commercial corridor, allowing residents to reach grocery stores, restaurants, and the Metra Union Pacific/West Line station on foot or by short bicycle ride. Street parking is available along Glos Street and at two dedicated lots, and the park is included in Elmhurst Park District programming for youth sports leagues and adult fitness classes.
