Riverwalk 2031 Fund

Creating a Path Forward

The award-winning Naperville Riverwalk is the crown jewel of our community, attracting thousands of visitors every year, serving as an economic catalyst for the Downtown, and providing nearly two miles of distinctive open space, ecologically balanced natural habitats, and peaceful beauty to enjoy throughout the year.


As Naperville celebrates its Bicentennial in 2031, the Riverwalk will celebrate its 50th year with exciting new projects to expand capacity, hospitality, accessibility, and safety while improving its appearance and river ecology. 

The Riverwalk 2031 Fund

Crafted to engage broad community support, the Riverwalk 2031 Fund, a 501(c)3, not-for-profit corporation was established to receive private sector contributions to partially fund construction of  Riverwalk 2031 Master Plan projects as directed by the Riverwalk Commission. The fund is projected to dissolve shortly after 2031, when the projects are complete.
