Softball Field Amendments
Also of note at that meeting- the board approved an amendment to the Naperville Central Varsity Softball Field renovations. The Knoch Park site will now include a circular drive and additional pathways. This will improve safety and add better accessibility. With the amendment, the project’s original $824,700 bid from Lite Construction now increases by $151,000. The Naperville Park District is in an inter-governmental agreement with the school district. They will reimburse $75,000 for the accessibility improvements.
Earth Day Pick Up
For Earth Day yesterday, Springbrook Prairie took part by hosting a “Pick-Me-Up.” Around 20 volunteers came out to help pick up litter found in the forest preserve. With winter passed and snow melted, a lot more trash can be found. Volunteers aren’t just limited to helping during Earth Week. You can do your part by calling the preserve and set up a day and time when you can get out and help keep our earth clean.
