Pocket park approved by Chicago Park District
The Cornell Community West Pocket Park Project wins board approval to become the park and long term maintenance, with Open Lands Project backing. The group must still acquire the site at 5477 Cornell, needing urban renewal plan amendments to lower the price by changing the designation from low density residential to park use. Fundraising continues after a recent street fair on site, led by Sylvia Royt and local organizers.
