West Pocket Park project awarded to landscape architects
Open Lands project awards design and development of Corewell West Pocket Park to David B. Linstrum and Michael P. Tarnow. Work will begin this spring on the Cornell Hyde Park area between 54th and 55th streets. A community meeting to view plans will be announced soon. The park’s history includes DAR site efforts and a 1960s to 1967 collaboration with local groups and a grant from the Community Trust. The Chicago Park District took over the land August 9 last year after controversy over weed killer spraying by Urban Renewal, which was later apologized for and rectified.
