Bensenville Park District Staff

Nancy Gibbs Secretary

Our vision is for the Bensenville Park District to be an integral member of the cooperative inter-governmental group providing quality services and programming of high impact at low cost to the community. We embrace life-long learning in both recreation and leisure fostered through diverse and unique facilities. By maximizing alternative revenue sources, we are recognized for providing the highest level of services and facilities and consistently exceeding our residents’ expectations.

Administration

Dear Residents,

Recreation Programs & Facilities

I hope you had an opportunity to come out and reconnect with a summer program. We all moved forward with great enthusiasm as we enjoyed once again our water park, our parks and just being around family and friends. We are thrilled to be a gathering place for friends, families and neighbors to get together once again.

We welcome all our families back to the park district.

It is with great anticipation of a return to normal operations that we plan, promote and initiate services at the district for the remainder of 2021.

Our staff will move forward with caution, and a continued concern for safety, in conducting programs in the future.

The park district continues to plan; we recently completed a five-year capital improvement/replacement plan to ensure your facilities are kept in good condition for all to enjoy. Our board of commissioners continue to look to future trends in leisure services/recreation to determine the path the park district will follow to serve our residents.

I would like to take a moment to thank all the workers that took very good care of our community over the last year. We at the district, like many of you, were negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic at work and home. I acknowledge great appreciation to our park district staff that continued to report to work and provide continued services through a very stressful time. I assure you your park district staff are great public servants that have your best interests as a top priority. Stay Safe.

- Joseph C. Vallez, Executive Director

Fischer Farm Harvest Fest | Sep 25, 10:30A-6P Details on page 7

Fischer Farm

Fischer Farm is one of the oldest remaining homesteads in the county. The family settled here in 1836 and established a dairy farm. Their success was evident by 1919 when they had the beautiful foursquare farmhouse constructed. This homestead now forms the core of the Fischer Woods Preserve.

This preserve is still home to remnant prairie and wetland and provides a glimpse of what the first settlers to the area saw. The land is valued both for these original seedbeds of native plants and for its historical integrity. The nine structures are all connected to the Fischer family and remain on their original foundations. The Bensenville Park District, in cooperation with the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County, has been working to preserve both the homestead and the native ecosystems while promoting education and recreational opportunities at the site.

Free Admission 16W680 Grand Avenue

Hours: Building open from 9:00-11:00A the first Saturday of each month.

Grounds open from dawn to dusk

This flashy, sassy, sexy story of big heels invading a small town shook Broadway and was universally adored by critics and audiences. Now it’s Paramount’s turn to try these shoes on for size. Charlie Price is a reluctant shoe maker. Lola is a fierce drag queen. These two could not be any more different, but when they find common ground in shoes, they see a whole new world of possibilities open up to them that will turn their small town upside down, and just might save Charlie’s failing shoe factory.

With a Tony Award-winning score by Grammy Award winner Cyndi Lauper and a book by Harvey Fierstein (Tony Award-winning star of Broadway’s Hairspray), Kinky Boots tears up the stage and never lets go. The show is at the Paramount and includes lunch, show and transportation. Register by 09/06. Min 10 | Max25. (TG)

Participants may keep extra clothes on hand for emergency situations, however, the participant, participant’s parents, or designated person may assist with the change. Pull-ups brand training pants are not acceptable. This policy does not apply to participants ages two and under.

Photo Policy

Please be aware that these photos are for Park District use only and may be used in the District’s publications, websites, and/or social media accounts. In the event you do not want yourself, or your child featured in these publications, the Bensenville Park District needs to be notified prior to the event in writing. Please call the Park District with any questions.
