Jaycee Tot Lot, Elmhurst, IL

Jaycee Tot Lot occupies a compact, fenced site on the north side of Elmhurst, directly adjacent to the Illinois Prairie Path. The playground includes a rubberized surface, two age-separated climbing structures, a slide, and two sets of swings, all shaded by mature oaks. A perimeter walking loop, approximately one-quarter mile, is surfaced with crushed limestone and connects to the Prairie Path’s regional trail network, allowing residents to reach the downtown Metra station on foot in roughly twelve minutes. Restrooms and a drinking fountain are located at the adjacent Jaycee Park shelter building, and a small parking lot off Crescent Avenue provides street-free drop-off for families. The lot sits within two blocks of York Road retail corridors and is served by School District 205, making the park a functional daily amenity rather than a weekend destination.
