‘Buy a Brick’ Campaign Continues Along the Riverwalk
During the Riverwalk 2000 fundraiser launched in 1997, the Daily Herald sponsored a “Buy a Brick” ad campaign featuring different residents holding the “Your Name Here” brick.
Today, the initiative that gives individuals the opportunity to write a message to be engraved on a brick or a granite stone continues to be a popular gift item and a way to support the Riverwalk Foundation.
Find complete details with photos about this personalized gift in a story featured at www.positivelynaperville.com. Search “Buy a Brick.”

Barn surplus items to be made available for pickup in mid-July
Following the close of Ribfest, site work will begin for a new maintenance facility at Knoch Park. Preparation for the demolition of the Barn Recreation Center and Central Maintenance Shed, located at 421 W. Martin Ave., will start with the installation of a construction fence. The demolition is planned for mid-July, depending on weather and completion of permitting.
Once demolition begins, the contractor will set aside small sections of the brick walls and wood paneling for residents to pick up at a designated location outside the construction fence along W. Martin Ave. At their June 23 meeting, the Naperville Park District Board of Commissioners approved an ordinance that officially declares a portion of the Barn bricks and paneling as surplus property and authorizes the demolition contractor to make some of these materials available for residents to gather if they wish.
