Friends of the Parks, a 501c3, is JPAC's fiscal agent. Contributions are tax deductible as defined in law.

Dues Structure: Suggested basic level for individual/family is $10, organization $20. Note that voting depends on attendance (your 4th of past 12) not dues. Also, we prefer to call funds that we receive contributions. Contributions support our work and expenses and especially go to help the park and kids/youth fieldhouse programs.

Thank you to the nearly 60 plus dues-paying members every recent year. We will use the funds to advance the park.

JPAC holds OPEN meetings the 2nd Monday of the month (except October: Tuesday after the 2nd Monday), 7:30 pm at Jackson Park Field House, 6401 S. Stony Island Avenue. (The officers or Nature Committee often meet ahead of the regular meeting.)

Meet at the parking lot north off Hayes Drive east of Cornell Drive. Spring through fall. Under direction of Chicago Park District Department of Natural Resources. Call Ross Petersen, 773 486-0505.
