Naperville Park District staff to begin reinstalling equipment for some park amenities

Between May 26 and the first week of June, Naperville Park District staff will begin to reinstall equipment to allow the reopening of several types of park facilities, including basketball courts, volleyball courts and the Knoch Knolls Park disc golf course.

Reinstallation of equipment and opening of these facilities will occur over one to two weeks.

Basketball rim installation will begin on May 26 at neighborhood parks and then will move to sports complexes.

With 104 rims to be reinstalled across the park district, the process will require 6-7 days to complete.

Volleyball nets and the disc golf baskets at Knoch Knolls Park will be reinstalled beginning June 1. The process will take up to 3 days.

Once these recreational amenities are open for reuse, the park district expects users to follow social distancing protocols of maintaining a minimum 6-foot distance from others. When this cannot be maintained, a face covering needs to be worn.

Additionally, players must follow Centers for Disease Control guidelines for hygiene to prevent the spread of COVID-19 by vigilant handwashing or using hand sanitizer in the absence of soap and water, and by refraining from touching their faces.
