Chair: Louise McCurry, (email or 773 844-2225 parks@hydepark.org) (or email Gary Ossewaarde (email, or 773-773-947-9541) and . We have been working creating and coordinating and giving small grants to PACs for as many area parks as possible. Please contact us with questions about a PAC for your park.
We also work for great suites of programs and workdays*. HPKCC and the committee have been members of and contributors to the Neighborhood Enhancement Grants Program. Recednt winners include Bixler, Cornell Playlot, Elm, and Nichols parks.

Our committee is active in environmental action and advocacy and is following up our heritage in seeking Recycling Reform and Great Lakes and shoreline resiliency and safety.

Our parks range from vest pocket to neighborhood parks (some with regional attractions) to the big regional parks that surround Hyde Park on three sides. A few have active councils. Their schedules are found in PAC Meeting Schedules (check often as schedules change). The Conference is the fiscal agent and provides support services for and has special ties to and serves as fiscl agent for for Nichols Park and Bixler Park.

MOST OF OUR PARKS PAGES ARE DOWN DURING OUR WEBSITE RELAUNCH. EXPECTED TO BE ONLINE FIRST ARE PARKS HOME, PAC SCHEDULES, AND JACKSON PARK AND NICHOLS PARK ADVISORY COUNCIL HOMEPAGES.

For Permits, go to the park district website—search special events permits or permits (latter will bring you to all, including baseball fields.)

We are of course sad that our lakefront parks are currently closed including Jackson and the Midway, and all playgrounds and fieldhouses and spring 2020 programs are cancelled.
