Your Board
The Naperville Park District is an independent municipal agency that was established in 1966 through a public referendum. Since then, the Naperville Park District has been committed to enriching community life through leisure experiences.
The Naperville Park District is governed by a seven-member Board of Commissioners, elected at-large by Naperville voters. As of the 2007 election, Commissioners will begin serving four-year terms. Commissioners Hart and Schaffner will serve 2-year terms to facilitate the change from six-year to four-year terms. Board meetings are conducted on the second Thursday of every month at 7:00 p.m. "Matters from the Public" is a permanent agenda item that allows the public to comment on park district programs and operations.
An Executive Director is appointed by the Board of Commissioners to manage the day-to-day operations of the park district. Under the director's management, a staff of over 100 full-time professionals oversee park operations, recreation centers, policing, planning, business and finance, employee services, community relations, golf services, and facilities and vehicle maintenance. Over 1100 part-time positions are available throughout the year to assist in recreation, arts and environmental programs.
