The Playground
for Everyone
at Butterfield Park
Imagine a playground where every child can participate in all elements of the design; where children of all abilities can swing, slide, climb, and play side-by-side with their friends and peers, fostering acceptance, friendship, and understanding.

This playground's cost will exceed $600,000, far more than the $350,000 budgeted by the Elmhurst Park District each year to replace a typical playground. The People for Elmhurst Parks (PEP), a 501(c)(3) foundation supporting the mission of the Park District, has taken on the challenge to raise the needed $250,000.  Community groups and individuals have committed over $130,000 to date, with the hopes that this fundraiser will make The Playground for Everyone a reality.
