The goal of the Chicago Parks Foundation is to help park users and lovers become park givers and stewards. We bring community ideas to action, raising funds and awareness for park projects all across the city via: Community outreach & programming Restoration & enhancement projects Fiscal & community partnerships Signature fundraising events Sharing park history & stories When you invest in the parks, you are investing in the communities who depend on them. Because it’s the people who make the parks, and every Chicago community - from South Side to North, West Side to Lakefront - has a unique park story.
