The Chicago Park District is creating a new strategic plan, and we want to hear from you! 


Our last plan was created in 2012, so it’s time for us to revisit our goals and strategies to keep Chicago one of the world’s best places to live, work, and play. Our goal is for the plan to be completed in Summer 2024.  
 

Community Input  

Community input is key to developing this plan. We welcome you to participate in our next round of town halls.  
 

  • Town Halls

As part of the strategic planning process, we have been hosting a series of town halls that are open to all community members. 

*New* We are hosting additional in-person town halls to share our progress and provide community members with another opportunity to provide feedback. These town halls will feature a presentation and provide attendees an opportunity to provide feedback. No prior registration is required. Speakers will be asked to register upon arrival.
