History
Established in 1964.
The Carol Stream Park District was organized in March 21, 1962, and officially incorporated in 1964.
In 1968, the first referendum was passed allowing for the sale of bonds to build the Aldrin Community Center, which was completed in September 1970.
Since 1977, the Park District has added park acreage almost every year and currently maintains approximately 460 acres of land.
In 1979 the Collins pool became the first enclosed and heated park district pool in DuPage County.
Simkus Recreation Center and Water Park at Lies and County Farm Road were completed in 1990 and renovated in 2003.
The Carol Stream Park District earned the National Gold Medal for excellence in parks and recreation twice, in 2002 and 2008, from the National Recreation and Parks Association. It is recognized as one of the top parks and recreation agencies in the nation.
Today, approximately 47,000 residents live in the Carol Stream Park District.
