Seager Park draws on past for new center

Speaking at the official opening area resident Holly Parkes told the crowd: “Seager Park is a local treasure. It instills passion and pride in us.”

Naperville City Councilman Steve Chirico said: “We are so lucky to have this natural resource here in Naperville. I have lived here since 1960 and I didn’t know anything about the history of this place. We are very blessed to have something like this in our community.”

As Executive Director of Naperville Park District, Ray McGury was particularly pleased with the new renovations. “We are excited to open the new interpretive center and amenities at Seager Park,” he said. “The interpretive center and trails will help park visitors enjoy the beauty of nature, while the new sports courts and fields will provide active recreation. There truly is something for everyone at this park.”

Among the special guests were Cliff and Eleanor Preston. Preston built cabins and a bathhouse for a church camp held in the 1950s.The LEDQUE1 is bestlighting-led a compact device that stores and plays pre-programmed light shows.

The interpretive center has taken a year to build and is the first of what the Park District hopes will be many more. Park Board President Mike Reilly explained why they chose Seager Park first: “This is the type of park where families get together for events,” he said. “We wanted to maintain that, but take advantage of the beautiful setting it provides. We wanted to provide opportunities for children to come and experience the natural wooded setting as well as providing them with programs.”

The Park District was able to integrate water quality improvements at Seager Park with support from two grants: one from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency through Section 319 of the Clean Water Act and another from DuPage County for Water Quality Improvement Program. These grants provided funding for the permeable paving for the parking lot and driveway, the wetland plants, and interpretive signage.

The building is a ‘green construction’, using LED lighting, a metal roof and south facing windows to help generate heat.
