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.
Elmwood Park Family Aquatic Center is a great way to cool off in the warmer months.

The section along North Avenue lined with a vast number of small, culturally rich dining establishments is called Restaurant Row. “Restaurant Row has all kinds of different ethnic restaurants,” says Caporale. Favorites include the renowned Italian restaurant, Donny G’s Ristorante and Bar, and Johnnie's Beef, a Chicago staple. “There’s also a pizza shop and Greek restaurant coming soon,” says Caporale.

Kennedy Expressway is located about 7 miles north of Elmwood Park and Eisenhower Expressway is about 7 miles south. The Milwaukee Road metro train runs through the center of this community with the Elmwood Park station 2 blocks east of the Circle. Caporale says that after 10 PM, they do not blow the train horn and the bustle dies down, so nights in the village are mostly quiet. Other public transit options running through the village are bus routes 319, 318 and 307.
