NAPERVILLE, IL — Residents have one more chance in October to attend an open house the Naperville Park District is hosting for information about a $135 million bond referendum question that may appear on the March 2026 primary election ballot.
The open house is planned for Oct. 21 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Naperville Park District South Maintenance Facility, 3415 Book Rd.
The funds would be used for a new activity center with indoor aquatics at Frontier Sports Complex, six lighted pickleball courts at Country Lakes Park and other upgrades to park district facilities.

In a video on the Naperville Park District website, Executive Director Brad Wilson said the last time voters approved funding for the park district was in 1966, which was when the district was established.
"The community has spoken clearly that it would like more of what the district has to offer," Wilson said. He said these priorities include more opportunities to participate in park district programs. Other projects the potential bond referendum would fund include refrigerated ice rinks moved to Community Garden Plots to lengthen the skating season and two new ball fields at Wolf's Crossing Park.
