The Elmhurst Jaycees serves the community through fund-raising for worthy events, and in 1973 the group realized its goal of creating a small, neighborhood park for Elmhurst's littlest residents. The Jaycee Tot Lot is specially designed for children ages two to five. Renovations to the playground were completed in 2004 with a donation from the Jaycees, and the park now includes a sand table and a state-of-the-art soft surface to minimize injuries from falls.
