The Chicago Park District Board of Commissioners and Superintendent Michael P.

In response to growing concerns in today’s climate, the resolution takes steps in assuring that all residents of Chicago, particularly children, people of color, immigrants, LGBTQ community and people of all faiths and traditions, ages and abilities know that the Chicago Park District is steadfast in its commitment to be at the forefront of efforts to foster safe and welcoming places for them to run, play, learn, develop new skills, hike, compete, bike, swim, achieve, create, relax, imagine, and explore.
