Long-standing plans to build a new park along the Naperville Riverwalk on a small parcel of North Central College land between the city’s Washington Street Bridge and the Burger King restaurant are under discussion again. After years of sitting on the backburner, long-standing plans to build a new park along Naperville’s riverwalk are being revitalized.Tuesday morning, design plans for a small park at 430 S. Washington St.
For years that 0.4-acre parcel had been privately owned by a family who maintained a property on the site, Novack said. But over time, it fell into disrepair, was sold to a developer and then ended up being purchased by North Central College in 2012 when the developer defaulted, he said. Instead of pursuing both projects at the same time, the city opted to again put the park project on hold and wait for bridge construction to tie up. That way, by the time the park was ready for visitors, it could be enjoyed without interruptions from nearby roadwork, Novack said.
