PROJECT OVERVIEW
In early 2024, the Naperville Park District selected the team of Williams Architects, PROS Consulting, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Office of Recreation and Park Resources (ORPR) to conduct a District-wide assessment of indoor recreation space needs. The goal of this initiative was to develop a detailed plan to address community need for and support of further indoor recreation amenities. This assessment is designed to guide the District in ensuring it continues to meet the recreation needs of the community while assisting the Park Board of Commissioners and staff in understanding the District’s current and future direction regarding indoor space. The goals in developing the Indoor Recreation Space Needs Assessment were to: • Assist the Park District to determine and prioritize where to invest its resources for current and future indoor space. • Evaluate the agency’s current indoor recreation space inventory and utilization as it relates to key District documents and survey data. • Assist in creating baselines for peak facility use, capacities, hours of operations, etc. • Identify gaps and inefficiencies with current indoor facility use and make recommendations regarding space needed to address both current needs and future growth. • Identify types and sizes of indoor spaces needed to address current needs and future growth in addition to estimated construction costs.
• Assist the District in confirming community interest and need for additional indoor space. • Formulate a plan with recommendations for future indoor space based on multiple data sources.
