This year s event was pushed back several months in order to enjoy the warmer evenings and later sunset around the lake at the lodge. East Side Market, a family owned delicatessen located in the Forgotten Edge , adjacent to Elysian Park for over 42 years, will cater this year s event. The evening will conclude with the traditional raffle, dessert and coffee. Due to size restrictions of the Lodge, this evening will be limited to the first 200 people that order their tickets. Unfortunately, there cannot be any exceptions to this limit and tickets must be paid in full, so send your payment right away.
Free parking is available at the lodge.
After debating several worthy projects it was decided that the best use of a portion of the funds was to honor the children who use the park. Working with Recreation and Parks Landscape Architect Steven Davis and Steering Committee Member, Architect Peter Lassen, the sub-committee located appropriate sites for the play areas. In addition, the group determined appropriate materials, colors and configurations that would best emulate the rustic nature of the park and meet the needs and desires of children. Now all the hard work is coming to fruition for in the next several months construction will begin at three locations. Located on the North-West corner of Scott and Stadium Way will be an expansive Preschool Age play structure with stairs, ladders, ramps and slides.
