The Naperville Park District is hosting five open houses this month about a potential referendum being considered for the March 17, 2026 ballot, which would seek approval for a funding proposal.
Funding for potential capital improvements
The funding would be used for capital improvement projects within the park district that the public had expressed interest in. Those include more trails and open space, indoor recreation space with aquatics, and site improvements at several parks.
At the open houses, residents can talk with park district staff and learn more about the potential projects.

The open houses will be held on the following dates:
- Thursday, Oct. 2 – 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., Fort Hill Activity Center, 20 Fort Hill Dr., in the multipurpose rooms
- Saturday, Oct. 11 – 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., South Maintenance Facility, 3415 Book Rd., in the conference room
