Additionally, the Rothermel Family Pickleball Courts will be completed at Frontier Sports Complex and the Frank J. Rus Pavilion will be constructed at Knoch Knolls Park.

Since May 2004, Exchange Club Memories Fountain has been a popular attraction in Fredenhagen Park.

Note also that late in the 30-minute Naperville Park District Board of Commissioners meeting, a report about Fredenhagen Park revealed that repair and renovation of the fountain are necessary. Fountain needs are now being examined since the almost-20-year-old fountain is past its life cycle. When costs are provided, plans and specifications will be sent to the Riverwalk Commission and the City of Naperville.
