Installation of these much-appreciated gifts to enhance Fredenhagen Park as well as the Riverwalk extension from Washington Street to Hillside Road is expected in early November.

On October 9, brick orders from the Spring 2025 were set into the plaza at Fredenhagen Park by Naperville Park District staff. Several donors were in attendance to watch installation of their commemorative bricks.

Since the Riverwalk 2000 initiative to extend the winding brick path from Washington Street to Hillside Road, members of the Euclid Lodge #65 have been enhancing their Naperville Masonic Temple Plaza, mostly during spring brick installations. Their intention is to recognize all members of their fraternity with commemorative bricks. (PN Photo, May 2025)
