Naperville weed control:

Naperville Park District is temporarily suspending the use of the weed control chemical Roundup after a petition urged it not to use the substance on playgrounds. The district will experiment with organic weed control products but is warning park users that more weeds than usual might begin to pop up at playgrounds. The district says it’s not practical or effective to hand-pull weeds at 73 playgrounds across 2,400 acres of park land. Officials are asking for the public’s patience and understanding as they explore alternatives for weed control.
