Northside Park pool's locker room and toilet facilities are not maintained well - often unclean. My wife said the same for the women's side.

The newer style parks like Kelly Park, Scottdale Park, etc are fantastic and the more of these we can create and update around the better!

Wheaton should have a splash pad. Playgrounds should be designed to be under shade.

Allow bikes and scooters (and open admission) at Safety Town at Toohey Park during the day (Elmhurst allows this and it works great!)

Move senior activities to a larger space. MLC is too small with bad parking. Add more senior activities like Lisle has.

More bathrooms closer to Naperville Road at Seven Gables and possibly include concessions in them as well to generate some revenue.

Wheaton Rams desperately need lighting at additional fields. Program has grown and kids are practicing too late at Atten and limited space.

Fix summer camp signup. It’s frustrating when you log in before 12am & the system won’t let you register before 12:07 & you get waitlisted.

Please improve our baseball facilities. We have shared practice fields, cancelled games bc they don’t drain. Too much $ to play for that.

WPD is not taking care of its playing fields. Many of the fields are currently unusable or in terrible shape due to mismanagement.
