Every day across Chicago, children play in parks in every neighborhood. Families gather along the lakefront. Neighbors come together in the public spaces we all share. Chicago’s parks are woven into everyday life. Last year alone, more than 36 million visits were made to Chicago Park District parks and programs. But the scale of our park system tells only part of the story.
