Join the Park District's Park Board of Commissioners to complete fun, quarterly challenges as an extension to the Park District's Park It! in Naperville initiative. This is a great way for families and individuals of all ages to experience unique recreation activities across Naperville while also getting to know a little bit more about our seven-member board and maybe even meet them, depending on the event or activity.

To get involved with the Commissioners Challenge each season, visit this webpage to view the quarterly challenge information and photos from the board members' experiences from the previous season's activities. Residents who complete the challenges are invited to capture their own experiences doing the same activities with a photo posted to their social media with the following tags: #naperparks, #napervillecommissionerschallenge.

Information on the first Commissioners Challenge for autumn is coming soon!
