The Naperville Park District is reaching out to residents to gauge their interest in possible improvements to the Nike Sports Complex. The Naperville Park District is gathering community feedback on possible renovations at the Nike Sports Complex and the Fort Hill Activity Center in anticipation of upgrading and maybe adding amenities next year and beyond.
One of the reasons the Naperville Park District is seeking resident input on its indoor recreational spaces is because they’ve added nearly 2,000 more Fort Hill Activity Center members since the COVID-19 pandemic, the district’s executive director said. Among the upgrades under review are an expansion of a loop trail within the complex and the addition of a “ninja-type” challenge course to the site, Wilson said.
When the input process is complete, the district intends to develop a master plan that will not only guide prospective Nike renovations but also allow the district to seek state funding, Wilson said. “We felt that Nike Sports Complex would be a good candidate to put together an OSLAD grant … to hopefully get some funding to assist with it,” Wilson said.
Naperville Park District’s youth basketball leagues are so popular that there are waitlists for those who want to participate, according to district Executive Director Brad Wilson. Between March and April, the district held a series of focus group meetings at which residents were asked to share firsthand challenges they’ve faced with indoor space and ideas for making it better. Those were followed up with a pair of open houses earlier this month.
