About Centennial Beach
Centennial Beach is a public aquatic park located in Naperville, Illinois. The beach has a sandy surface and is 190 feet long. It is 0.22 miles from the nearest bus stop and 0.19 miles from the nearest toilets.
Centennial Beach is a public aquatic park located at 500 W. Jackson Avenue in Naperville, Illinois. The Beach is within an abandoned, double quarry alongside the DuPage River. The facility covers almost 6 acres (24,000 m2) of land with a full two acres (8,000 m2) or 6.2 million gallons of open water from Lake Michigan, all tested, re-circulated and chlorinated on site.
Among its features is a sand beach next to the shallow end of the pool which offers a zero-depth entry. At the zero depth area of the pool, there are 2 large water play features which pour water from about 10 feet (3.0 m) up, and water spouts that shoot up water for children to play in and cool off. The shallow end of the pool goes from 0 feet (0 m) to 4 feet (1.2 m), getting deeper as one walks further into the pool.
