Welcome to Wilder Park located in downtown Elmhurst, Illinois right next to the local library and the art museum. This suburban park is not just any other suburban park, in 1997 it was voted as the #1 suburban Chicago park by Chicago magazine. This park's history goes back to 1921 when it was first established. In 1936 it was described as the most beautiful garden in Elmhurst and makes a popular location for weddings. In more recent history the playground was dismantled and donated to children living in third world poverty. This park has four tennis courts, water fountains, the historic Wilder Mansion, annual easter egg hunts, and much more.
