Suggested Improvement Opportunities
Sample Verbatims: Suggested Improvements
Parks/Trails (18%) “More walking trails/paths/washrooms encouraging all to get outdoors and move year-round. (Snow removal on trails/paths is greatly appreciated.) Trails to connect entire city, taking advantage of river and other natural features.” “Not certain whether biking and walking paths are in the scope of the Park District, but the availability of developed walking and biking paths is grossly wanting compared to the fund expanded south of downtown.” “Bike paths between parks.” “Pick up trash in park when you mow the grass at the park. Include dog signs and bags at the park. 'Scoop your poop’.” “Spray weed killer on dandelions in fields that back up to residential property.” “Fix the gap in the netting behind the soccer goals at Knoch Park. Balls easily get wedged in and stuck, which requires scaling of the fence to retrieve (very unsafe).” “Over the past several years, many of the Park District's baseball fields have been in poor condition. Fields are rarely dragged; weeds grow in the infield and the grass is long. Many baseball facilities in other communities far outshine Naperville. The Park District should also continue working with the City of Naperville to improve the Riverwalk experience as it continues to be an important economic driver for Downtown Naperville.” “Adding special areas for walking where bicycles are not allowed.” “Picnic tables, drinking fountains, park benches to watch sports activities.” “Please keep trash cans at parks, playgrounds, baseball fields when they are being used.” Buildings/Facilities (18%) “For the most part, an outstanding job. Additional outdoor pickleball courts would be great.” “More golf courses.” “My family would benefit from additional indoor basketball locations that offer open gym. Or the addition of open gym times at existing locations.” “Naperville doesn't have many 'indoor' sports facilities. It seems like it would be a large profit opportunity will all our youth sports teams and also hosting tournaments, etc......” “Indoor pool and activity center would be so great!” “Large indoor/outdoor waterpark for whole families -- ONLY for Naperville residents!” “Add pools to Fort Hill Fitness Facility.” “I am happy so far. A nice pool system that could provide adaptive swim lessons would be nice.” “Indoor pool long overdue in Naperville. Almost every surrounding community has indoor water facility including space for recreation exercise classes. Many opportunities to add this to NPD in central location have been raised. Love the beach, but that is a 3-month activity.” “Indoor pool and activity center would be so great!” “Offer indoor pool with lap swimming.” “More indoor gym space.”
