Appendix F
2022 Community Interest and Opinion Survey
Executive Summary
Priorities and Unmet Needs: Indoor Facilities
Most residents (54%) express interest in or a need for an indoor walking/jogging track. This is greater than the level of demand expressed in 2017 (47%). Among those interested in an indoor track, just under half feel this need is currently being “mostly/completely met” – meaning most identify it as an unmet need. It also ranks highest as the #1 indoor facility that residents would like the District to prioritize (especially among ages 55-64 and long-term Naperville residents). Fitness facilities and gym courts round out the top three indoor facilities in terms of interest/demand (44% and 36%). Similar to an indoor track, demand/interest in gym space is up from 27% in 2017. (Fitness facilities were not tested five years ago). Likewise, fewer than half feel that fitness facilities and/or gym courts are mostly/completely available currently (also unmet needs). Several indoor water facilities (lap pool, open pool, water park, warm water therapy pool, indoor spray/splash park) are of interest to between 19% and 32% of residents (especially a lap pool, open pool, and indoor water park). Each of these represent large gaps, meaning very few interested in indoor water amenities feel they are currently available in the area. In terms of the #1 priority for the District, an indoor water park represents a close second after an indoor walking/jogging track, followed closely by an open pool and lap lanes.
