Shoreline Stabilization Project Resumes Along Naperville Riverwalk on April 14

Thursday, April 10, 2025

Naperville Park District will resume the Riverwalk Shoreline Stabilization Project on Monday, April 14. The project, which began in late 2024, will stabilize the eroding shoreline along the west end of the Riverwalk between Jefferson Avenue and the Jaycees playground. Invasive and declining trees and shrubs were removed in winter 2024 followed by the installation of stone breaks to deflect water from hitting the shoreline. During this phase, the rest of the shoreline will be stabilized with stone breaks and native plantings. Please note that sections of the Riverwalk may be temporarily closed due to project maintenance activities.

The Shoreline Stabilization Project is expected to conclude in summer 2025. Any comments or questions regarding the work can be directed to Project Manager Peggy Motta at pmotta@napervilleparks.org.
