Grants

As a local government agency, the Naperville Park District is entrusted with managing tax dollars wisely in order to benefit the community. Grants can multiply our resources as we partner with others to accomplish common goals. In the 1970s and 1980s, grants totaling over $2 million enabled the park district to acquire over 500 acres of land. In the past 5 years grants have provided over $2.5 million for park development and other projects.

Looking to the future of this unique community, we, as a district, will continue to seek grants that can save resources and lead to better and more creative programs and projects. As we consider how to meet the variety of recreation and open space needs that are highlighted in the 2006 Recreation Master Plan, we will let the community know about opportunities for partnerships with the Park District.
