Chair: Gary Ossewaarde (email, or 773-288-8343).

Our parks range from vest pocket to neighborhood parks (some with regional attractions) to the big regional parks that surround us on three sides. A few have active councils. Their schedules are found in "Advisory Councils" on the link at right for "Neighborhood Parks." The Conference provides support services for and has special ties to the councils for Nichols Park (an HPKCC affiliate) and Jackson Park. HPKCC is proud to manage and maintain JPAC's website as "Jackson Park" (top of left bar on "Neighborhood Parks" page).

If you see something happening in a park that shouldn't be, call 911 and Park Security 312 747-2193.

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

The folks at the Hyde Park-Kenwood Community Conference welcome your comments and help. Remember our e-mail address is hpkcc@aol.com.
