Naperville Park District considering use of Naperville North High School turf
The Naperville Park District could use new synthetic turf fields that are being installed at Naperville North School, based on a preliminary discussion at last Thursday’s park board meeting.
Naperville School District 203 is in the process of installing two new fields on the west end of the high school’s campus, south of the main stadium. The fields are designed to accommodate soccer, football, and lacrosse, and could accommodate some of the park district’s recreation programs.
While it is subject to change, the park district has expressed interest in using the fields two nights a week in March, April, May, September, and October. An intergovernmental agreement between the park district and school district would have to be drawn up for the proposal to move forward.
