You have found the Centennial Beach
Staff Alumni Website. This site is 100% by and for
beach staff alumni. It was donated to you simply for the purposes of
helping you catch up with old co-workers, share your part of Naperville
and beach history, and reminisce. On June 6th 1931 Centennial Beach
in Naperville, IL was also donated by a committee of residents for an city
anniversary. 2006 was the Beach's 75th birthday and hundreds of us
used that as an excuse to plan reunion related activities and
reconnect with their old beach friends. Former Mudrats, Beach Staff,
Riverwalk Eatery Staff and Park District
staff involved with the beach all came out in great numbers If you missed
hearing about these events in time we are sorry. We are just volunteers and did
what we could. Maybe you can update us and keep in touch for
planning the summer 2011 event by joining our
FaceBook Group and help us
write your version of Beach History.
