Friends of the Park 10th Ward’s Parks Advisory Council Meet & Greet at Vodak-East Side Library

Are you passionate about programming? Do you want to advocate for your local Park District’s needs? Join us for a Park on Feb. Advisory Council Meet & Greet  at the Vodak-East Side Library (3710 E. 106th St), 6:30pm-7:30pm

Advisory councils are voluntary groups of individuals who meet on a regular basis to support the effective functioning of the park. A council works with the park supervisor and other Chicago Park District staff, advising them on the needs and concerns of the community and making recommendations and suggestions regarding its respective park.

Advisory councils promote ways for the community to better utilize the Chicago Park District’s programs and facilities; provide communication to the Chicago Park District on matters relating to their parks; increase community awareness of Chicago Park District projects; provide the community with a vehicle through which park information can be shared; and assist in locating alternate funding sources to enhance park facilities.
