Question

Does anyone know what kind of construction is going on in Knoch Park across the street from Naperville Central? It looks like they are digging up the baseball fields.  

Answer 1

Isn’t this where they’re putting in the new girls softball field/stands? The reason they had to move Ribfest.  

Answer 2

I believe they’re updating the NC softball fields

Answer 3

I know they moved Ribfest, did it get too big for the area?  

Comments

@tion79 Thanks!

@arawn62 no, they moved ribfest because of the current construction going on at knock park

Answer 4

Contact the Park District for the correct answer.  

Answer 5

They are adding field turf for year round space to be used just like at Nike and Commissioners park.  

Answer 6

A way to spend tax dollars.

@lauricelaurie8 well with the additional gas tax increase and everything else we better see things built.  

---

At least its not all going straight to pensions

---

@naquin4075 Gas tax is to improve the roads.

@lauricelaurie8 marijuana tax?  

Answer 7

I was wondering too. An awful lot of work to build a softball field. Just spraypain lines and put a few bases

Comments

@colpotomy5480 wow - the boys get amazing new facilities, but the girls just need lines spray painted on the grass. That doesn’t sound fair at all

---

I don't think boys are getting new facility. I think a pickle ball court is going in.  

Answer 8

They are putting fake turf down

Answer 9

I do love their optimism that children - or anyone for that matter - will be playing sports again!  

Comments

@niko hopefully they aren’t getting rid of them

---

What, the children? Jk

---

Speaking of which, is there any timeline been announced for summer sports happening? Park district? Little league? Anyone?  

Answer 10

I'd rather have a ribfest.  

Answer 11

I heard they are creating a new softball field!
