APPENDIX VIII: OPEN-ENDED FEEDBACK NAPERVILLE PARK DISTRICT INDOOR RECREATION SPACE NEEDS ASSESSMENT
9
Participation in Youth Basketball seems to be limited due to an insufficient number of available practice facilities. Maybe more indoor pickleball courts would be nice. Outdoor tennis facilities are great but there are not any indoor tennis facilities offered by park district We'd love if Fort Hill added indoor/outdoor tennis courts. Naperville PD should also add additional outdoor pickleball courts. On an average night in the summer I wait 30-1 hour at Knoch Park to play pickleball. I feel there is a need for larger facilities/additional capacity. Naperville is a wonderful community/city. A quality indoor facility is desperately needed. Furthermore, facilities need to be promoted to all via advertising etc.
Not enough indoor and outdoor pickleball facilities. We are really missing a full-size indoor track and pool. Not enough locations to play/practice volleyball/
Regarding the amount of indoor space/facilities- as compared to neighboring municipalities and considering the large population of Naperville I'd say the amount of indoor facilities and the
variety of available activities is lacking. More sports centers: (such as Fort Hill) Not enough space for winter sports teams
Racquet facility. No hockey rinks. Commissioners Park, needs better lighting on the track for walking in the evening. Youth Sports Program Capacity/Registration Issues (N = 16) There are not enough slots for some sports for youth teams such as basketball. The information about and actual sign-up process for activities is frustrating. It should not feel like I won the lottery because I got my child on her school’s soccer team. Indoor kid sports are very crowded. Cannot get into the kids programs I am seeking due to crazy demand. We love the NPD and all of the opportunities it had provided our family. This is a huge town and we understand you are doing your best to try and accommodate all needs. The only thing I disagreed on was not having enough indoor facilities. Due to the lack of indoor facilities available, less indoor sports teams are available (i.e. youth basketball) which in turn, makes registration very challenging and stressful.
I answered Undecided to "are there enough indoor spaces for Naperville Residents". I have had good luck getting into the programs my family desires and not needed much more outside
