Riverwalk Grand Pavilion Questionnaire

The City of Naperville and the Naperville Park District thank everyone who completed the Riverwalk Grand Pavilion Questionnaire. The main themes identified in the results include:

1. Pavilion Functionality. Most respondents were generally satisfied with the current Grand Pavilion structure and its effectiveness. 49% of respondents reported being Satisfied or Very Satisfied with the Riverwalk Grant Pavilion as a public space.

2. Amenities and Upgrades. Some interest was expressed in having additional improvements and specific amenities. The most selected significant frustration was the lack of amenities (e.g., limited seating, inadequate food preparation areas, grills), selected by 15% of respondents.

3. Signage and Awareness. The need for additional wayfinding signs was noted to improve navigation in the area. Words like bathroom, seating, downtown, and district appeared in the word cloud, which shows interest in the surrounding areas.

What's next?
