Wilder Park is a jewel in the community and the perfect location for a summer bike race, not only because it is right on the course, but because it truly offers something for everyone.
The Wilder Mansion Beer Garden, 3:00pm - 10:00pm
The Wilder Mansion Garden will have a selection of beer, red & white wine, soft drinks, and Arnold Palmer iced tea. The Wilder Mansion front yard is a spectacular space from which to enjoy the race, as it's immediately in front of the start/finish line! Food vendors will be located right alongside.
Family-friendly attractions around the course include:
- an expansive playground for kids large and small
- plenty of shade trees and abundant grass to play on
- a cooling station, provided by Elmhurst Masters Competition Cycling
- Elmhurst Public Library, for a cool place to rest (and read!)
- Elmhurst Art Museum
- Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art (with a gift shop every kid loves!)
- Elmhurst College campus and arboretum
- restaurants and shops just blocks away!
Walk along Prospect Avenue and explore the Expo area. Check out the antique ambulances from Superior Ambulance, grab lunch or dinner from one of our food vendors, or enjoy the goodies from the Expo vendors.
