The park district heard us loud and clear and they have officially decided to move forward with the indoor pool project. I honestly never imagined this would actually happen when I started this but you all proved me wrong. Thank you for pushing this forward because this victory belongs entirely …

Do you believe that our city of 145,000 - home to one of the largest summer swim conferences in the country, widely considered “One of The Best Places to Live” would be even better with a park district swimming pool? Then let your voice be heard. This “petition” is about collecting names/contact information of those that share this goal. Whether you want a 50M Competition Pool, a lap pool or just an indoor facility for a cold winter activity for the kids. The goal is mutual: We want WATER. As some of you may know, the Naperville Park District recently completed a survey about how to develop the last 30 acres owned by the park district. The results indicated that a pool was the most popular amenity with more than 50% of respondents choosing an indoor pool. Unfortunately, the Park District has chosen to pursue a Master Plan that does not include a pool. Let’s let them know they are choosing the wrong plan.

It is my goal to collect names and email addresses of like minded Napervillians so that we can communicate broadly about upcoming Park District meetings, progress and initiatives while also publicly dsplaying the community’s support of a pool in Naperville.

Please support a POOL IN NAPERVILLE by signing this petition.

definitely need to step it up and get a park district pool, the PD too often uses school facilities which puts them at a disadvantage for scheduling and coordination.

We need a competition pool with a separate competitive diving platform/springboard boards. The USA diving competitions have to be held either at Northwestern or in Wisconsin! My son has to drive into the city for his club diving. Our area needs a competition pool!

With 2,000+ kids in summer programs, a 1,000+ kids in club swimming and 5 of the top high school swim teams all in the Naperville area, it’s about time for a park district swimming facility. The community would benefit from recreational and competition pools!

This city needs and deserves a pool! As a former swimmer and lifeguard, I want others to have the opportunity I didn't have when I was younger.

50 year old life long swimmer in Naperville. From Park district, club, high school to national competition. I can't believe we STILL have to drive to Wisconsin for big Illinois meets because Illinois has no facility that can handle it. With the number of swimmers OF ALL AGES in Naperville it is crazy we don't have such a facility here.

I agree with the sentiments of those passing this petition. I have lived in Naperville for 35 years. I could never understand why a pool has never been built. I also am a Masters Swimmer and think it is embarrassing that we have to hold our State Meet in Wisconsin or Indiana.
