Friends of Walsh Park
This is a group of neighbors who are interested in obtaining new rubber playground surface, more shade trees, a small water park and a field house in Walsh Park. If this interests you, please contact us via email.

For more information on each of the parks and the activities offered go to www.ChicagoParkDistrict.com and search for the park by name or for an activity like the Dog Friendly Areas at Walsh Park and Churchill Field Park, or the Pool at Holstein Park, or the play areas at Walsh Park and Erhler Park, or the board game tables at Senior Citizen Park.

There is so much to do... just get out and do it.

Each park has an Advisory Council that works with the community and the Park District to build more programs that meet the community needs.

Get involved - contact Stacia at Karah@bucktown.org  for the next meeting on your favorite park or to share your suggestions on what we can do in the parks or if you spy a spot that should be filled with green. Watch this space for more news on new parks in the neighborhood - we'd like to have at least six parks in Bucktown some time soon.
