The Naperville Park District invites residents to help select equipment for the 2016 playground renovations planned in their neighborhoods. Parks slated to receive playground updates are Walnut Ridge Park, located at 2304 Keim Drive; Huntington Estates Park, located at 867 Rockbridge Drive at Ann Reid Early Childhood Center; and Old Sawmill Park, located at 432 Massachusetts Ave.

Three separate open house meetings are scheduled in January 2016, each of which will take place at the Park District Planning and Development Office at 425 W. Jackson Avenue.

  • The open house for playground renovations at Walnut Ridge Park will take place on Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2016 from 5-6:30PM
  • The open house for playground renovations at Huntington Estates Park will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2016 from 5-6:30PM
  • The open house for playground renovations at Old Sawmill Park will take place on Tuesday, Jan. 26, 2016 from 5-6:30PM

Parents are encouraged to bring their children and may come at any time during the given time period.  There will not be a formal presentation.

“Each playground design offers several variations, including color, types of slides, and layout of equipment. We invite parents and children who will use the playground to help make these choices,” said Project Manager Jessica Burgdorf.
