CBS 2 Chicago reported, Thursday, Aug. 13, on a football event that occurred at the Naperville Park District’s Commissioners Park August 8-9. They questioned why the Park District allowed a large gathering to occur during the event in light of COVID-19 restrictions. It is important to note that the event was not run by the Park District, but rather one conducted by an independent organization through a rental of athletic field space.
All park users are required to adhere to the guidelines established by the state, which are supported by the Park District under the Restore Illinois Plan. The group that rented the field space failed to meet those guidelines. Upon learning of concerns associated with the event, the Park District took immediate action to address the conduct of the group in question.
The health and safety of our residents is a top priority, and the Naperville Park District continues to encourage all residents to follow established COVID-19 guidelines.
