4. Visit one of our playgrounds – Free!
Did you know that the Park District offers 67 playgrounds throughout the Naperville community? Playgrounds are open year round. On those long, winter days with no snow to play in, bundle up and bring the kids out to try a new playground or your family’s favorite. Our newest playground was installed in the fall of 2011 at Knoch Park, located at 812 S. West St.

Our newest playground at Knoch Park is open on S. West St.   

Families enjoy the ever-popular Jaycee Playground on the Riverwalk.

The Riverwalk is open year round, with snow removal and maintenance performed by the Naperville Park District. Other trails throughout the District may be snow covered, but are open and offer a quiet environment for a refreshing winter walk.
