7/1/2023 – Due to recurring vandalism at neighboring parks, there is no portable toilet available at this time.
Slepicka Park, named after the family that farmed there since the 1940’s, was opened by the Carol Stream Park District in October 2008. It features beautiful Black Walnut trees and a historic marker — 1940’s concrete silo — which displays farm artifacts.
The park, which qualified for state grants of nearly $700,000, includes exercise stations, a picnic shelter (available to rent) with permanent game tables, bocce and baggo courts and the beginnings of a small arboretum.
The park’s path system connects to Jirsa Park.
Slepicka Homestead Park has sixteen ground level plots and six raised garden beds available to rent starting February 1 for residents/returning gardeners and March 1 for all.
