New Park Meeting Tonight November 17 at 7:30 p.m.

New Park Coming to 16th and Wabash

Alderman Fioretti and the Chicago Park District have scheduled a meeting to discuss the proposed park at 16th St. and Wabash Ave. The meeting will take place on Wednesday November 17, 2010 at 7:30 p.m. at the 1st District Chicago Police Station, 1718 S. State St.

Dog and People Friendly
This park is a long time coming, but it promises to be a great addition and asset to the residents of the South Loop, whether you're a dog owner or not. Although the park has dogs and dog owners in mind, the CPD will present a park design that will benefit and accommodate pet owners and non-pet owners alike.Two recently park additions to the city, Mary Bartleme Park (Adams-Sangamon) and Lakeshore East, have successfully integrated dog areas into the park designs.
