A park on Naperville’s north side
Monday, May 31st, 2010In late April, the Naperville City Council voted to approve the expansion of the Nike Sports Complex. This expansion will add around 20 acres to the park, doubling its size. Additions include a lighted, synthetic turf field; fields for soccer, football and lacrosse; lighted tennis, basketball and volleyball courts; a playground; walking and bicycle trails; and a cricket pitch.The annexed property was purchased by the Park District in 2007 and the space was badly needed by local sports teams because of limited facilities on the north side of the city.Ground breaking on the expansion begins this summer.Click here to read about the unique military history of the land upon which the Nike Sports Complex is located.
