Fishing

All state fishing regulations apply; individuals between ages 16-65 need a valid fishing license, (15 and under do not need a license) which can be purchased through Illinois Department of Natural Resources or at local retail outlets. Naperville Park District’s rules for fishing can be found in Section 2.19 of Ordinance 641. Fishing is also available on the banks of the DuPage River.

Upcoming Improvements/Construction

Pond Dredging and Shoreline Restoration Project

Project Background.  Silt and sediment had filled the retention pond over the years, degrading the water quality and the pond’s capacity to hold stormwater and prevent flooding. Invasive trees dominated the shoreline contributing to erosion into the retention basin. 

Project Description and Timeline. Naperville Park District partnered with DuPage County Stormwater Management Department and its contractors to restore the pond and its shoreline.

  • Phase 1 - Remove the invasive and declining trees along the shoreline. Completed in fall 2024.
  • Phase 2 - Remove the silt that has filled the retention pond over the years that collects and prevents stormwater from entering residential properties. Completed in fall 2024. 
  • Phase 3 - Stabilize the slopes of the shoreline and plant native vegetation immediately following Phase 2 to prevent erosion in the future. A berm will be formed with silt collected from the basin, between the pond and 75th Street, to create a landscaped buffer and enhance the view toward 75th Street. Completed in fall 2024.
