Year-round events and recreation
Conti Parkway, also known as the Circle, is the community’s event and recreation hub. At the center of the parkway, Elmwood Park Recreation Center and Aquatic Center provide a bunch of indoor and outdoor recreation options. On the outer edge sits Elmwood Public Library, which hosts several events throughout the year for residents of all ages. “The library has events going on all the time,” says Caporale.
The community’s annual car show and summer concert series are amongst the most popular events at the Circle. And when they’re not gathered on Conti, residents head to Central Park to enjoy movies in the park. Caporale says, “There are activities nearly every day, ” including breakfast with Santa, Halloween Parties, pancake breakfast with the Easter Bunny and more.

The Milwaukee Road metro train runs through the center of this community with the Elmwood Park station 2 blocks east of the Circle.

Other public transit options running through the village are bus routes 319, 318 and 307.
