WINTER SPORTS NAPERVILLE PARK DISTRICT FACILITIES
Naperville Park District's Snow Clearing Scope The Park District recognizes that there’s a lot of recreation to be enjoyed during the winter months. However, please understand that while we cannot clear all of the sidewalks or park and facility parking lots when it snows, we do have snow-clearing standards that help improve residents’ and patrons’ access to parks and facilities that are open for use during the winter. Our snow-clearing scope includes: • Sidewalks near schools where Park District programs are held in addition to some sidewalks within school zones to ensure that residents have a cleared path to/from their neighborhood’s school. • Sidewalks adjacent to Park District facilities that are open for use • In areas with Park District land on either side of a street, our staff will clear sidewalks on one of the sides • Trails/paths located in select parks across the community (clearing of trails occurs after the primary routes are completed) Naperville Park District's Snow-plowed Trails NORTH Nike Sport Complex...............................1/2 mile Country Lakes Park................................1/3 mile Riverwalk.................................................3.2 miles Wil-O-Way Commons.................................1 mile CENTRAL Wildflower Park......................................1.2 miles Meadow Glens Park..............................3/4 mile Winding Creek Park...............................1/3 mile SOUTH Frontier-Ashbury Park- Ashbury Greenway................................2.1 miles Commissioners Park.............................1.5 miles Wolf's Crossing Community Park......1.2 miles CENTRAL/SOUTH Burr Oak-DuPage River Park............6.5 miles For more information visit napervilleparks.org/ snowclearing
Stay Off the Ice to Stay Safe this Season Did you know that there are over 500 retention ponds in Naperville? Regardless of the time of year, it is never safe to go out on the water – even when it appears to be frozen! You never know how thick or strong the ice may be as these aspects are affected by varying temperatures, which create thin, weak spots that are dangerous and unpredictable. Parents, please talk to your kids about the dangers of ponds in winter and teach them how to stay safe. Help pets stay safe, too, by keeping them leashed around ponds.
SLED HILLS The following hills are non-lighted and available for use from sunrise until one hour past sunset: • Arrowhead Park, 711 Iroquois Ave. • Brook Crossings, 1015 95th St. • Country Lakes Park, 1835 North Aurora Rd. • Gartner Park, 524 W Gartner Rd. • May Watts Park, 804 S.

Little Doctor School • AGES 4-12 Do you have a budding young doctor in the house? Send them to Little Doctor School! To begin their learning, each student is given a white coat and real working stethoscope that’s theirs to keep. Participants will explore common tools that doctors use and examine a variety of topics including how air flows through the lungs, what happens to food when we eat, how the heart works, and what it’s like to be a surgeon. Each little doctor will even get to hear what their own heartbeat sounds like! This is a great opportunity for children to have fun role-playing while learning and growing their knowledge.
