The Naperville Park District is inviting residents to share their priorities for future capital projects, as part of an ongoing effort to align investments with community needs. The feedback will inform the district's long-term planning for parks, facilities, and recreational amenities.

Separately, more than 100 Naperville teens will showcase their skills in kho-kho, a traditional tag-like sport from South Asia, during an event hosted by the HSS Chicago Kho-Kho Premier League. The event takes place July 18 from noon to 4 p.m. at the TOCA Soccer Center, and the public is encouraged to attend and cheer for the participants.

Kho-kho, which originated in ancient India, involves chasing and tagging opponents, requiring speed, agility, and teamwork. The event aims to celebrate Indian heritage and introduce the sport to a broader audience.

The Park District's capital project survey is available online, and responses will be accepted through the end of the month. The district plans to use the input to prioritize projects in its upcoming budget and five-year plan.
