Dedicated in 1928, Salt Creek Park is Elmhurst's second-oldest park. Back then, the park offered access to Salt Creek for fishing, and had a swimming hole and ice rink. More recently, Elmhurst College asked the Park District to build a NCAA women's 60-foot softball field, complete with dugouts, scoreboard, scorer's building and restrooms. The Park District agreed and construction was completed in 2006. In addition, the park offers a playground, picnic pavilion and horseshoe pit.
