PARKS AND RECREATION  

The Carol Stream Park District hosts 36 parks and playgrounds ranging in size from 1/4 to 74 acres. There’s an outdoor water park, two recreation centers, a skate park, two gymnasiums and a mini-golf course. And if you’ve got kids in your life, be sure to visit Kids World, a 16,000 square foot play complex that is ADA accessible. The park district offers hundreds of sports, recreation and performing arts programs each year. Sports-minded kids and adults can play in one of the many sports leagues: football, baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball and swimming. 

HISTORY

Jay W. Stream (April 17, 1921 January 26, 2006), a military veteran who had previously sold insurance and ready-mix concrete, was in the mid-1950s heading Durable Construction Company. He became frustrated with red tape while negotiating a planned 350-400 home subdivision in nearby Naperville, Illinois. A Naperville clerk reportedly advised Stream to “build your own town”, and in 1957, Stream began buying unincorporated farmland outside Wheaton.
On August 26, 1957, his daughter Carol and three friends were returning from Racine, Wisconsin. While attempting to cross Route 45 in central Kenosha County, the car was struck in the right rear corner. Carol was ejected through the windshield and into a utility pole. Neurosurgeons said the comatose girl might never awaken. On advice of the doctors that her recovery might improve with good news, Jay decided to name the new community in her honor. After four months, Carol regained consciousness. Learning the new village bore her full name, Carol said she thought it “odd and silly” at first.
Carol Stream never lived in her namesake community but moved to Arizona in 1957. She still participates in municipal celebrations and rides in parades during anniversary celebrations of the municipality’s 1959 incorporation, and is frequently asked for autographs when she is in town.

    “ Ok I will start off saying I know a lot of realtors and by far Candy & Dave are the best I’ve ever seen. They care about there clients. They constantly communicate through texts, emails, voicemails, and phone calls. Candy is definitely a GO getter and she is on top of her game. She will provide the most honest information and she will fight to get you top dollar for your house however she will provide honest information on comparables and will explain to you how to get the best value out of your house. Dave & Candy will lead you for success and tell you things like if you tighten this cabinet or paint this wall or anything that is not sticker shocking. These people are very knowledgeable. I felt I should write this long information because I had such a wonderful experience and please don’t be like oh yea this review is because this person knows Candy & Dave. I want to put it out there I do not know them or have any history with them I litteraly met them a couple months ago and they sold my house in 24 hours of listing…. So I do know they now will become my friend and connection for future purchases!!! Great job guys and thank you for all your connections and hard work!! Keep doing what your doing!! The real world out there is in it to make a buck. You guys are in it for a buck as well but the difference with you guys you actually care about your clients!! ❤️”
