Special Park District Meeting Planned To Discuss Indoor Recreation Recommendations

LISLE, IL — The Lisle Park District Board will hold a special meeting Nov. 6 to review recommendations and final findings from a feasibility study on indoor recreation. The study, conducted by PROS Consulting, was launched in February after a 2023 park district survey showed residents expressed a desire for more indoor recreation options.

The study included focus groups, community surveys, market analyses and research into usage of the park district's current indoor recreation options.

Per park district documents, more than 1,500 residents "provided active engagements with the feasibility study project." Some of the "main trends" residents expressed in their feedback included a desire for an indoor swimming pool, an indoor gym with a walking track, indoor playgrounds and fine arts programming.

Residents also expressed that they would like indoor recreation spaces to be appropriate for "multigenerational" and "multifunctional" use.

PROS Consulting presented their initial findings at a park district board meeting in late August.

The Nov. 6 special meeting will be held at 6 p.m. at 1925 Ohio St., Lisle.
