INTRODUCTION TO THE DOWNERS GROVE PARK DISTRICT DEDICATED FIBER OPTIC ETHERNET AND PRI SERVICES RFP The Downers Grove Park District was created in 1946 when a group of concerned citizens envisioned the establishment of a park and recreation system to serve Downers Grove village residents. The District’s mission of providing and preserving open space and developing quality recreational areas and leisure programs has remained constant for more than 70 years. The Park District’s boundaries are nearly coterminous with those of the Village of Downers Grove, encompassing 14 square miles. The community is located 25 miles southwest of Chicago’s loop, in southeastern DuPage County. DuPage County is one of the 55 largest counties in the nation. The entire assessed valuation of the Park District exists within this county. The community’s predominantly residential character has been complemented by growth in the commercial sector, primarily in the northern and southern sections.
