Wilder Park South Master Plan and Bandshell

Multiple improvements to Wilder Park are being proposed shown across two concepts, some additional opportunities and four bandshell designs. Each concept includes a new bandshell location and permanent restroom building, funded by the referendum, along with a variety of improvement options for Wilder Park. The proposed bandshells are approximately 60' wide at the front, 40' wide at the rear, 40' deep from the front to the rear and 24’ high from the stage to the canopy.

The Elmhurst Park District would like to know which options you like best as we move to a preliminary and then final master plan. Ideas in each can be mixed and matched between the concept options, so please choose your favorites from all of them.
