Renaming a Naperville Park

I have been impressed and overwhelmed by the great comments, phone messages and personal e-mails that I have received supporting the idea to rename Winding Creek Park.

A Question that has been asked ::
How does the park get renamed?
There is no written process or guide to follow to rename a park.

I had called several different park personnel before I ended up speaking with Ray McGury who was kind enough to explain.

As of now I have been told that the Naperville Park Board has the power to rename a park. This is a 7 member elected committee. I will be attending the November 12th park board meeting at City Hall to make a formal request to rename Winding Creek Park to honor Jack Hennessy.

Naperville Park Board Members are ::

Suzanne Hart ,
Gerry Heide,
Ron Ory,
Mike Reilly,
Andrew Shaffner,
Marie Todd and
Kirstin Young
