The Chicago Park District is giving community members a direct voice in deciding future park improvements through Citywide Participatory Budgeting (PB). Community members submitted over 1,000 ideas. Now it's time to vote on what category should be funded.
Vote by ranking the project categories in order of preference. The category receiving the most votes will be funded, and at least nine projects under this category will be completed throughout the Central, North, and South Regions.
Voting runs July 27–August 27. Vote online now, or in-person at any Park District fieldhouse. Every vote helps shape future investments in Chicago parks. Participants must be at least 13 years of age and Chicago residents to vote.
