Skating To Kick Off At Revamped Rothermel Family Skate Facility

NAPERVILLE, IL — After more than $100,000 in renovations and a rebranding, the former Centennial Park Skate Facility is set to reopen Thursday as Rothermel Family Skate Facility.

Renovations to the skate park started in July after the Rothermel Family Fund of DuPage Foundation donated a $120,000 grant to the Naperville Park District.

The park now features a clover-shaped concrete bowl, grind rails, ramps and other features to give skaters access to more ways to practice tricks.

“The Naperville Park District is incredibly grateful for the Rothermel family’s generosity,” park district Executive Director Brad Wilson said in a news release.

He added, “Their continued support demonstrates their belief in the importance of community recreation opportunities, which are well aligned with the park district’s mission.”
