2022 Community Interest and Opinion Survey
Executive Summary
NPD Park and Facility Usage, Satisfaction
Overall, 97% report that a household member visited a District park or facility in the prior 24 months. Among specific locations tested, the most widely used include: Riverwalk (cited by 83% of recent visitors) and the Rubin Community Center (23%), about evenly from residents throughout Naperville Knoch Knolls Nature Center (45%, especially those in the SE region) Fort Hill Activity Center (37%, also from residents across all regions) Centennial Beach (35%, from all regions) Nike Sports Complex (27%, especially NW residents) Frontier Sports Complex/95 th Street Center (26%, mostly from SW) Commissioner’s Park (18%, likewise especially SW residents) Wolf’s Crossing Community Park (17%, mostly SW residents) Several other parks were volunteered as recent visits, but none were mentioned by more than 2% overall. As with the District’s overall esteem ratings, satisfaction scores from recent visits to these parks and facilities have also grown even stronger over time. The parks and facilities receive high average ratings of 8.6 or higher (on a 0-10 scale) for safety, cleanliness and upkeep, overall experience, and accessibility (about 0.5 higher ratings since 2017). NPD staff also receive very positive ratings (8.2 average, up from 7.7 five years ago). Relatively few (under 10%) express any dissatisfaction with NPD parks or facilities, most often seeking better maintenance (with a few specifically citing Riverwalk, Gartner Park), followed by better accessibility and parking (e.g., hours at Centennial Beach and parking near Riverwalk).
