The following links provide information on Participation Guidelines associated with Park District programs and facilities.  The Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity Restore Illinois Guidelines, in addition to information from public health organizations, was used in the development of the guidelines.  The guidelines are subject to change as new information becomes available.  Please check back often for updates.

Tier 1 Resurgence Mitigations - DuPage and Will Counties

Tier 1 Resurgence Mitigations issued by the Governor’s Office are currently in effect for Regions 7 and 8, which includes both DuPage and Will Counties.  The Naperville Park District will follow the Tier 1 Mitigation Requirements in the operation of facilities and programs. All detailed Phase 4 operational guidance in the Participation Guidelines found below remains in effect. Where Phase 4 guidance and Tier 1 Mitigations imply different standards, the more restrictive Tier 1 Mitigations will apply.  A complete copy of the State of Illinois Tier 1 Resurgence Mitigations can be found here.  Tier 1 Mitigation Requirements for Park District operations include:

Meetings, Social Events and Gatherings
(includes weddings, funerals, potlucks, etc.)

• Limit to lesser of 25 guests or 25% of overall capacity both indoors and outdoors
  • Applicable to professional, cultural and social group gatherings.
  • Not applicable to students participating in-person classroom learning or sports.
  • This does not reduce the overall facility capacity dictated by general Phase 4 business guidance such as office, personal care, retail, etc.

Organized Group Recreational Activities
(fitness centers, sports, etc.)

• Sports should follow the mitigation measures set forth in the All Sport Guidelines, which outlines appropriate levels of practice and competition based on individual sport risk.
• Face coverings must be worn at all times in fitness centers, including while engaged in individual exercise regardless of person or machine spacing.
• Recreation, fitness centers and outdoor activities (not included in the above exposure settings) follow Phase 4 guidance.

The Park District is using the following criteria in planning for its onsite activities:

Reducing Program Sizes

Alternate program times, locations, and reductions in participant levels are being implemented within programs. We also are using multiple areas of parks, and when possible, providing options for semi-private and private instruction.

Practicing Good Hygiene 

More frequent hand washing requirements have been implemented within programs, such as at the beginning and ending of programs for youth, or the availability of hand sanitizer for adults. Also, depending upon program activity types, additional handwashing breaks may be included.

Staggering of Program Start Times 

To avoid large gatherings during program check-in and check-out times, we are staggering class, camp, and game start times.

Increasing Equipment Cleaning 

New standards have been implemented to ensure the regular cleaning of equipment. Additionally, disinfecting wipes are available in several facilities for program participants to wipe down equipment after they have used it.

Modifying Program Activities

Park District day camp experiences have been adjusted by eliminating large gatherings and focusing more on outdoor activities, hikes, etc., and bringing entertainment to camps/programs versus taking a field trip.
