■ 2025 DISTRICT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
■ 2025 DISTRICT GOALS 1. Implement recommendations from the Indoor Recreation Space Needs Assessment. Staff and Board reviewed information gathered and resident input received through the Indoor Recreation Space Needs Assessment (IRSNA) completed in 2024 and began implementing recommendations from the study to support community needs for additional indoor recreation space. 2. Update the District’s Strategic Plan. Staff and Board collaborated to update the District’s Strategic Plan, adding new goals and closing out accomplished goals as the District completed the final year of the 2023-2025 plan. 3. Update the District’s ADA Transition Plan. The District reviewed and made updates to its ADA Transition Plan as part of a regular evaluation process to ensure that accessibility barriers are being addressed across the organization. 4. Accomplish Inclusivity and Engagement Team District-wide initiatives. A staff-led Inclusivity and Engagement Team developed and executed various goals that increase the organization’s visibility and outreach while enhancing the District’s brand as a welcoming presence in the community.
5. Continue to invest in attracting and retaining staff across the organization. While the District continued to evaluate recruitment and retention trends, staff’s assessment of the broadening scope of the workforce beyond wages, benefits, and training – including a greater investment of time overall – was addressed to maximize efficiencies and emphasize continued success in staffing initiatives. 6. Develop a plan to address outdoor District- wide signage. District staff performed an overall assessment of current signage and developed a plan and standards to address consolidating outdoor rules and information signage. This was the first phase in a multi-year initiative to eventually create and install new signage District-wide. 7. Assist with hosting the 2025 Naperville Healing Field of Honor at Rotary Hill. The Park District provided logistical assistance including site preparation and installation of a large display of American Flags and hosted this locally renowned event at Rotary Hill around Veterans Day. 8. Complete agency preparations for CAPRA reaccreditation in 2026. The District began evaluating its processes and documentation organization-wide to prepare for the CAPRA reaccreditation process that will take place in 2026.
Implementing the findings of the Indoor Recreation Space Needs Assessment (IRSNA) was one of the District’s larger undertakings of 2025, which led to the initiation of a public engagement process for a potential referendum. Additionally, board and staff collaborated on the development of the 2026-2028 Strategic Plan, and the District also updated the ADA Transition Plan to ensure current accessibility aspects were being addressed. Staff initiated a multi-year initiative for evaluating all outdoor signage across the District and updating it using new standards for content and placement. The District’s major accomplishments in 2025 are as follows:
