McKinley Park Play Garden Fundraiser

From Saturday, March 25, 2017 7:00 pm until 10:00 pm

Join neighbors, gardners and community members for a fund-raiser for the McKinley Park Play Garden, 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday, March 25, 2017, at the Co-Prosperity Sphere, 3219-21 S. Morgan St., Chicago.

The McKinley Park Play Garden project seeks to overhaul the underused public space just south of the McKinley Park branch of the Chicago Public Library on Wolcott Avenue south of 35th Street. The play garden will be a community-led space where neighbors can connect while children explore and make nature memories. Envisioned features include a play stage, a forest climbing path, a flagpole-topped fortress, mud kitchen and shipwreck gravel pit.

This event is open to ages 21 and over and costs $25 per person. Drinks and light appetizers will be served. Click here to order tickets online. For any questions, send email to mckinleyparkplaygarden@gmail.com.
