Naperville Parks District: Park District Board Approves Agreement To Accept Property Donati ...

Press release from Naperville Parks District:

August 27, 2021

At its meeting on August 26, the Naperville Park District board of commissioners voted to approve an ordinance for a gifting agreement between the Beneficiary of the Frank Rus Trust and the District for a property donation.  The board of commissioners also approved a resolution to name the approximately 39.95 acres of property located along the western edge of Knoch Knolls Park, the “Frank Rus Preserve at Knoch Knolls Park.”

The Beneficiary of the Frank Rus Trust approached the Park District with a desire to donate the property, which includes a one-story home, for future use and enjoyment by the public. This additional property will expand the District’s ability to increase its recreational programs, services and facilities for the community now and in the future.

Approving the resolution starts a 60-day period during which the park board may receive and consider additional information obtained through the community prior to finalizing the property’s naming. The naming and property donation would become official at the end of October, at which time the community will be able to access a portion of the natural area. Additional information will be communicated by the Park District regarding these details.
