A park is a place to play.
Park Place is dedicated to providing a comfortable place for children
to learn and play by improving the condition and programming of public
parks in Chicago's most economically disadvantaged neighborhoods. Our current projects assist Cabrini
Green's Stanton Park and its surrounding
community.
A park is a place to meet.
With events held throughout the year, Park
Place offers young professionals an accessible means of giving back to the
community. Corporate and private donations, along with the assistance of
other non-profit organizations, help generate the revenue and resources
needed to realize our goals.
A park is a place to learn.
Our contributions have helped convert a once-barren room into Stanton Park's
learning and resource center -- complete with computers, books and art supplies.
Our future plans include improvements to the exterior of the park field
house as well as developing additional enrichment programs for the children.
A park is a place to give.
Whether assisting families with Christmas dinner and toys for their children or
hosting a Halloween party for the neighborhood children, Park Place is constantly looking for
ways to breathe new life into Chicago's under-funded park field houses.
