I 2011 Annual Report2

Letter from Executive Director

On behalf of our Park Board of Commissioners and staff, I am pleased to present the

Naperville Park District’s 2011 annual report. This overview of accomplishments

illustrates our commitment to continuous improvement across the District and

desire to make our facilities, amenities and programs the best they can be for the

enjoyment of our community.

The District experienced many significant and exciting changes in 2011 and great

memories were made celebrating with our residents. The grand reopening of

Centennial Beach after nearly nine months of extensive improvements

undoubtedly was a highlight for all of us. However, the summer seemed to

crescendo when mid-July rolled around and we opened the 20-acre Nike Sports

Complex expansion to the delight of community sports enthusiasts. By the time fall

came, we were ready to celebrate again, this time with great improvements to

Seager Park including the District’s first interpretive center. In the midst of the

construction and opening celebrations, staff committed itself to achieving

excellence in pursuing national accreditation while continuing its diligence in

completing the day-to-day tasks that make our parks and facilities places that our

residents enjoy visiting all year round.

The staff and Park Board members who serve you take great pride in what they do

because they believe in the benefits that recreation can provide. And, there’s

virtually no better feeling than knowing what we do can bring health and

happiness to our community. Thank you for giving us that opportunity.

Sincerely,

Ray McGuryExecutive Director

First annual State of the Naperville Park District

addressIn February 2011, the District hosted its first-ever Stateof the Park District address. This event gave residentsand community leaders the opportunity to learn aboutDistrict accomplishments from the past year whilegetting a glimpse of the goals and projects that wereforthcoming.

Completion of the “Big Three” ProjectsIt’s not every year that a large-scale project isaccomplished and it’s even rarer for three, high-visibilityprojects to be tackled in one year. However, in 2011,that’s exactly what happened with theconstruction/renovation projects that occurred toCentennial Beach, Nike Sports Complex expansion andSeager Park.

• The Beach needed to be brought up to contemporarystandards, and enhancements were made to increasethe satisfaction of visitors to that facility. Renovationsincluded the addition of family changing rooms andenhancements to the existing locker rooms, theaddition of deck-level restrooms, an ADA-lift,Centennial Grill and a new plaza at the front entrance.Additionally, significant safety improvements weremade to the parking lot and drop-off area.

• The Nike Sports Complex expansion brought anadditional 20 acres to the existing Nike facility, andanswered the need for more fields, courts and placesfor the community to play and enjoy a multitude ofrecreational activities.

• Seager Park, a beloved and historic park, was in needof renovating. The addition of an interpretive centerand other site amenities like sand volleyball, basketball,and a walking trail made it more of a destination. Theimprovements were supported in part by an OpenSpace Lands Acquisition and Development grant, anEPA grant through section 319(h) of the Clean WaterAct and a DuPage Water Quality grant.

DuPage River Park improvementsIn summer 2011, the District announced thecompletion of park improvements at DuPage RiverSports Complex. The project included the renovationof the basketball courts, inline skating rink and repair ofthe tennis courts.

Green Initiatives

Maintaining a green mindset is very important tothe Park District. Since its formation in 2008, the

employee-led Green Team meets regularly to discussideas and the impact of environmental initiatives thatbenefit the organization and the community. Thefollowing are highlights of accomplishments made byDistrict staff:

• Parks and Planning worked together to improvethe District’s natural areas. The Parks Departmentschedules prescribed burns and mowing of nativegrasses and plants in the spring and July. Benefitsinclude cost savings on maintenance compared to turfareas, increased water capacity of the area, and habitatfor wildlife. New “low mow” areas were added atBrighton Ridge Park, Stanford Meadows, andUniversity Heights. Volunteers worked with staff atUniversity Heights to plant over 6,000 native prairieplants. The Planning Department added a new “lowmow” area at Knoch Park along the new trail, which ispart of the OSLAD grant project. Planning alsocontinued maintenance of native plants at PioneerPark, Frontier Sports Complex, Ashbury Park, andWinding Creek Park.

• New grants are funding water qualityimprovements at Seager Park and Knoch Park.Grants from the Illinois Environmental ProtectionAgency, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources,and DuPage County assisted with funding of thepermeable paver parking lot and native plants atSeager Park. Grants from IEPA and IDNR alsoassisted with funding of the new 10,000 gallon cisternand native plant area at Knoch Park.

• Partnership with The Conservation Foundationpromoted citizen involvement with sustainablepractices through the Conservation at Homeprogram and the rain barrel sale. Four Park Districtsites were recognized as examples of sustainablepractices by the Conservation at Home program: thenative plant demonstration area at the Garden Plots,and shoreline restoration projects at Winding CreekPark, Frontier Sports Complex (east side), andAshbury Park.

• IT department installed a new server, which isreducing energy use by 70% compared to theprevious server.

• The new interpretive center at Seager Park ishosting our nature preschool and is ready to host avariety of environmental education programs forthe community. Interpretive signs will help promoteself-guided tours and learning on site.

• Fleet has a tractor running on 100% vegetable oiland has purchased the District’s first E-ridevehicle.

• The Park District completed the CAPRA processelectronically, saving thousands of sheets of paper(with over 1.5 Gig of information storedelectronically).

Recycling The District continues to expand its recycling efforts,and each year since 2007, we continue to see anincrease in the amount of recycling that is occurring inour parks and facilities:

2007: More than 64 cubic yards of plastic bottleswere diverted from landfills

2008: 94 cubic yards of recyclables were collectedDistrict-wide

2009: 387 cubic yards of recyclables were collected2010: 1,305 cubic yards of recyclables were collected2011: 1,873 cubic yards of recyclables were collected


Recreation

Centennial Beach

Archery Program

Each year, the District offers more than 1,400 sports,arts environmental and health and wellness programs

for all ages, in addition to maintaining and operating keyDistrict facilities like Centennial Beach and theMillennium Carillon in Moser Tower.

2011 Total Program Revenue: $4,533,0252011 Program Participation: 51,223

Centennial BeachThis historic facility built in 1931 is Naperville’s largestand most unique aquatics facility. A limestone quarry-turned-beach, it holds 6.2 million gallons of water and hasa wide variety of amenities for guests of all ages andswimming levels to enjoy. The Beach’s popularitycontinues to grow year after year with many new visitorsexperiencing what makes the facility so special anddifferent. Although 2010 was a record year with regard toattendance and revenue, 2011 was a close second withnearly 146,000 patrons (170,000 in 2010) visiting theBeach during its three-month season.

Summer 2011 was particularly exciting as the seasonbegan with the unveiling of the sweeping renovationsmade to Centennial Beach in the off-season. Two grandopening events were held prior to Memorial Day and theenhancements were well-received by the District’s guests.These included: a new front entry plaza and patron drop-off area, a new entrance to the bathhouse, family changingrooms, improved locker facilities, deck-level restroomsand lockers, a new ADA platform lift, a new concessionsbuilding with an expanded food menu, staff training andsupport areas in the bathhouse, and new mechanicalsystems and infrastructure for the bathhouse. Allrenovations were made while preserving the historicintegrity of the facility.


Golf

GrantsIn today’s economic climate and with an increased

demand for scarce resources, grant-seeking hasbecome much more competitive. Although in manycases state and local agencies have been forced to cutback on overall funding, 2011 was an exceptionallygood year for the District, with the agency receivingover $1,000,000 in grants. These funds will help supportand in some cases, expedite capital projects. Grantsreceived included the following:• Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development

(OSLAD) grant for Meadow Glens Park• Illinois Arts Council grant for Élan Dance Company• U.S. Dept. of Justice grant for police vests• Illinois Urban Restoration grant for ash tree

replacement• Illinois EPA Section 319 grant for water quality

improvements• DuPage Water Quality Grant for Seager and Pioneer

Park water quality improvements

Élan Dance Company

Golf continues to struggle both locally andnationally due to the lingering effects of the years-

long economic downturn. Although the District’s golfoperation ultimately finished in the black, itsperformance was not as favorable as originally hoped.Therefore, golf will be challenged with creative ways towin back loyalty and increase rounds and revenue in2012 and beyond.

Enterprise FundThe Naperville Park District golf courses are operatedas an Enterprise Fund, which means that they do notreceive any tax support. Both courses rely solely ongreen fees and other golf related purchases to fund theiroperations, maintenance, capital improvement projectsand any debt service incurred.

2011 highlights:• Hosted the Mayor’s Golf Outing for the second year• Springbrook Golf Course was named “best golf

course” and “favorite golf course” by the readers of twolocal magazines

• Record participation in the 2011 Turkey Shoot – thefinal tournament of the year – had over 200 playersenjoying this fun, annual event held at bothSpringbrook and Naperbrook.

Enterprise FundThe Naperville Park District golf courses areoperated as an Enterprise Fund, which meansthat they do not receive any tax support. Bothcourses rely solely on green fees and other golfrelated purchases to fund their operations,maintenance, capital improvement projects andany debt service incurred.


The District’s financial health remained strong in 2011. In 2008, the District’s financial rating was upgraded by Moody’sInvestors Service to an Aaa, which is the highest rating available. Since then, including 2011, the District’s exceptional

financial status has been renewed at this level.

The District’s ability to maintain this status indicates several positive aspects regarding the financial health of the District’sincluding well-maintained finances with healthy reserves, diverse economic base benefits from proximity to Chicago and afavorable debt profile.

The Park District continues to operate under a tax cap while having one of the lowest tax rates in the area. Therefore, anemphasis continues to be placed on seeking alternative revenue through grants, donations and sponsorships with communitybusinesses. Funds received through these channels help support the organization’s ability to enhance its program offeringsand keep its service levels in line with resident expectations.
