Central Park Renovation Project celebration Aug. 11

Event Takes Place at 7:30 p.m. in Central Park Before the Naperville Municipal Band Concert

The City of Naperville, Naperville Park District and the Naperville Municipal Band invite the public to celebrate the completion of the Central Park Renovation Project at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 11 at the Community Concert Center, 104 E. Benton Ave. The event will feature a brief ceremony prior to the beginning of the Naperville Municipal Band's last concert of the summer season. Representatives from the City, Park District and Naperville Municipal Band, as well as former Illinois State Representative Jim Meyer, will speak.

Work was completed this summer on the Central Park Renovation Project, which included replacement of the park's bench seating, improved site grading, improved lighting design and installation, relocation of the cannon to minimize conflicts with the portable restrooms and relocation of the audio platform to allow for better visibility of the Community Concert Center.

The work on this project was performed with significant input from the Naperville Municipal Band and the community at large. In addition, the City received a $300,000 grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity with support from Representative Meyer to improve Central Park seating.
