REMINDER: Along with many other Park Districts in the Chicagoland area, the Elk Grove Park District has adopted a reduced chemical policy when maintaining the lawn areas in our parks. However, for a short time each spring, you may see a few dandelions in our parks.
These dandelions are sign that the Elk Grove Park District has limited the use of chemicals that are typically sprayed to control weeds. This is done in an effort to minimize our impact on our environment. We mow regularly to keep weeds down. According to natural lawn care basics, we try to keep our grass three to four inches high. This allows the roots to grow strong and access water deep in the ground. As a result, the taller grass naturally shades out some weeds. But, because we have reduced the use of chemical weed killers, dandelion flowers grow back quickly, oftentimes overnight.
So, when you see a dandelion, just remember the grass is healthy and safe for you and your family.
The Elk Grove Park District encourages all residents to use natural lawn care techniques. It’s a simple and cost-effective method of maintaining your green spaces.
