Snow Clearing Scope

The Park District recognizes that there’s a lot of recreation to be enjoyed during the winter months. However, please understand that while we cannot clear all of the sidewalks or park and facility parking lots when it snows, we do have snow-clearing standards that help improve residents’ and patrons’ access to parks and facilities that are open for use during the winter.

Here’s our snow-clearing scope:

Sidewalks near schools where Park District programs are held in addition to some sidewalks within school zones to ensure that residents have a cleared path to/from their neighborhood’s school.
Sidewalks adjacent to Park District facilities that are open for use
In areas with Park District land on either side of a street, our staff will clear sidewalks on one of the sides
Trails/paths located in select parks across the community (clearing of trails occurs after the primary routes are completed)

Did you know that the Naperville Park District has more than 17 miles of right of way walks under its jurisdiction? Cleaning every mile of walk would result in a significant number of hours of snow clearing. Instead, our staff does their best to identify areas where there may be only one traversable option, and makes sure that segment is cleared of snow to make it passable.

If you are looking to find out which parks have plowed trails/paths to enjoy some exercise or recreation, please select one of the following maps:
