Naperville Park District, Naperville Public Library and Indian Prairie School District 204 representatives are working together to bring to reality a new, 2.2-acre community plaza connecting the 95th Street Library, businesses along Rt. 59, Neuqua Valley High School, Frontier Sports Complex and residential areas.
An initial concept was presented by Hitchcock Design Group in January 2018 at a park board meeting. At the August 23 park board meeting, a more detailed concept was presented in the form of a 3D modeled video showing a tree-lined, beautifully landscaped outdoor space for walking, everyday social gatherings, outdoor classroom activities, children’s play, fitness, musical performances, and more.
The mission of the project is to encourage nearby students and residents of all ages and abilities to get outdoors, communicate and socialize and enjoy the many benefits of active and passive recreation.
