VOTE YES for More Indoor Recreation Opportunities in Lisle!
The Lisle Park District has placed a bond referendum on the November 3, 2026 ballot to construct a new indoor multigenerational Community Activity Center.
Why Vote Yes
More Indoor Recreation Space
A facility with fitness space, a two-court gymnasium, a walk/jog track, and a multi-activity court would provide more year-round recreation options.
Built for Every Generation
From youth sports leagues to senior fitness programs, the multigenerational facility would have something for everyone.
Complements What We Already Have
The existing Recreation Center would stay open and keep doing what it does best. The new facility would complement those offerings, not replace them.
Focuses on Community Needs
The proposal is the direct result of community input, built around the priorities residents identified.
A Smart, Central Location
The new center would be built on the site of the existing Community Center, which would be demolished.
Right-Sized Design
The 47,753-sq-ft facility would be appropriately sized to meet the community's needs.
A Reasonable Tax Impact
The estimated annual tax impact is $146 for a home at Lisle's median fair market value of $407,000.
An Investment in Lisle's Future
This is more than a building. It's an investment in our long-term quality of life, health, and community connections.
Protects Property Values
High-quality parks and recreation amenities contribute to our community's overall appeal and value.
