Created in 1966, the Naperville Park District is an independent,
municipal agency serving the recreation needs of its residents. An
Illinois Distinguished Agency since 1994, the District is one of only
1% of park districts across the country to be nationally accredited
through the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation
Agencies (CAPRA). The Naperville Park District’s mission is to
provide recreation and park experiences that enhance the quality of
life for our community, including benefits such as community health,
environmental education, social connections, and personal growth. The
District maintains and operates more than 2,500 acres with 140 parks
and facilities and provides more than 1,400 recreational, arts and
environmental programs and special events annually. Included within
the District’s operations are two championship golf courses, a
multitude of playgrounds, trails, athletic courts and sports fields,
two inline skating and skateboarding facilities, the Millennium
Carillon, a paddle boat quarry, historic Centennial Beach, and the
beautiful Riverwalk
