Kilbourn Park Advisory Council The KPAC volunteers encourage the enhancement of our neighborhood through positive park energy and fostering a lasting community presence within Kilbourn Park.

The Kilbourn Park Advisory Council is a registered 501c3 non-profit and made up of a voluntary group of individuals whose mission is to build a stronger community in our neighborhood and the city as a whole. Our dedication to supporting, conserving and enhancing Kilbourn Park and it's facilities enriches the lives of the park’s neighboring residents and the park’s visitors alike. Each and every event that the volunteers of the Kilbourn Park Advisory Council plan, develop and implement for the area's residents, deeply enriches the sense of communal bond and feeling of brotherhood all while raising awareness for our park. When we invest in our park, we improve the community that depends on it. Because it’s the people who make our park great both here and in every Chicago community.

Dance Classes for Kids and Adults at Kilbourn Park!

Join our welcoming community of adult dancers at the Kilbourn Park Auditorium! Are you an adult who is new to dance? Maybe you danced as a kid and want to get back into it? I teach Beginner Contemporary on Mondays from 6-7, and Beginner Tap from 7-8 (I’ve even got free tap shoes you can use during class)! Every session I welcome plenty of folks who are taking their very first dance class, many of whom return again and again! Read on for details and registration!

Have a kiddo who loves to dance? Pre-Ballet (ages 3-5) is enrolling now at Kilbourn Park! This class teaches young dancers basic ballet vocabulary, while building foundational gross motor skills, like leaping and balancing, to prepare kids for future dance classes.

📚 A new book from one of our Kilbourn Park neighbors! 🐶

We’re excited to share a new children’s book written by our neighbor and KPAC volunteer, Judit Arroyo.

Sugarmint: A Helpful Story About Being Safe With Dogs helps kids learn how to safely and respectfully interact with dogs, including understanding body language, asking before petting, respecting boundaries and giving dogs space.

Judit is a dog trainer, mom and longtime animal-welfare and literacy volunteer, and we love that she’s sharing her work right here in our community.

She recently stocked the Kolmar Avenue Little Free Library with copies of Sugarmint, along with fun stickers and goodies. So if you have a little dog lover at home, stop by and take a look!

Want your own copy? You can find it on Amazon: https://a.co/d/0gQWpMkN

Thanks, Judit, for sharing your book with our neighborhood! 🐾

🦇 Last chance to join us this summer!

Our final Bat Walk of the season is tomorrow, August 20.

If you've been meaning to check one out, this is your chance! You'll learn how bat detectors work, take a turn using the equipment, and help collect real data about the bats living in our neighborhood. No experience is needed, and families are welcome.

If you've joined us before, we'd love to see you again. Every walk is a little different, and there's always something new to discover.

Meet at the Kilbourn Park Fieldhouse 15 minutes before sunset. We hope to see you there!
