Park Board Approves Resurfacing of Eldridge Park Tennis, Roller Hockey Courts

The courts at Eldridge Park will be the priority for 2016.

Submitted by the Elmhurst Park District.

Elmhurst, IL - In a perfect world, surfaces would last forever and we would never need to replace courts, driveways, and paths but that is far from the truth here in the Midwest.

Every year the Park District reviews conditions of all courts in the District, and this year identified that severe cracking and surface issues due to heavy usage and aging make the courts at Eldridge Park the priority for 2016.
