It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in downtown Naperville.

Naperville Park District staff set up the area’s Christmas tree at the site of the Dandelion Fountain on Monday morning, just in time for the holiday season.

“When the fountain is down, it’s pretty bleak and an empty basin. So, we put a tree in here. [It’s] something to look at, a little bit of extra light added to the Riverwalk, and then people can enjoy it during the holiday season,” said Tiffani Picco, park operations manager for the Naperville Park District.

The artificial tree, which stands at about 18 feet tall, is made up of different leafy panels that are attached to a frame. Staff built it from the top down, finishing the installation in less than 3 hours.
