In 1978, the Naperville Junior Woman’s Club (NJWC) introduced Naperville to a nationwide program called Safety Town. Thereafter, NJWC coordinated, supervised, and staffed this beneficial program at temporary locations. In 1993, the Naperville Safety Town Commission was formed to provide a permanent location for Safety Town programs. The Safety Town Commission, made up of members of NJWC and other community leaders, brought Naperville together to build Safety Town. Located at the corner of River and Aurora Roads, Safety Town includes a classroom building and a kid-sized town complete with buildings, streets, a fire safety house, railroad crossing and traffic signs and signals. The Safety Town facility was opened in June of 1996.
Safety Town is used throughout the year for various safety and health related programs tailored to different age groups. These programs include: Scouts Play It Safe, Scouts First Aid, Baby-sitting Clinics, CPR, Trick or Treat at Safety Town, Fingerprinting, Keeping Yourself Safe, WDSRA Safety Town Sessions and Safety Town Mini Sessions. The programs offered and when varies from year to year. Check this site for details on what is available and when. In addition, new programs are in the developmental stage.
