There has been construction going on there for months now — a bike path, new ball fields, and a new playground are just a few of the improvements that are in process or have been completed.  See plans here.     I believe the time is right to rename our neighborhood park.

Winding Creek park is a small neighborhood park. It is primarily used by persons in the Maplebrook and Winding Creek subdivisions.  There are ball games and soccer games scheduled there, but unless your child is playing a game at that location, you probably would not ever visit our neighborhood park.

Jack Hennessy grew up in our neighborhood. He died in Iraq in 2004.  He was our neighbor and it would be fitting to rename the park in his honor. I am going to request that the Naperville Park Board rename Winding Creek Park to::

Jack Hennessy Memorial Park .

I would love to hear what you think about this idea.
