A park is a place ...
Park Place incorporated in November, 1996 as a non-profit organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Our mission relies primarily on two organizational goals to strengthen everyone's sense of community.

Provide Chicago's children an enriching, fun and educational environment away from school and home.

Provide Chicago's young professionals a highly accessible, enjoyable means of contribution.

We aim to make a difference and have fun while we're doing it. Park Place works in conjunction with the Chicago Park District, yet we maintain complete financial and operational independence. Because our staff is entirely volunteer, all contributions are channeled directly to our projects. Please feel free to e-mail us for any additional information.
