  • Daniel H. Burnham and Chicago's Parks
    Daniel H. Burnham and Chicago’s Parks by Julia S. Bachrach, Chicago Park District Historian In 1909, Daniel H. Burnham (1846 – 1912) and Edward Bennett published the Plan of Chicago, a seminal work that had a major impact, not only on the city of Chicago’s future development, but also to the burgeoning field of urban planning. Today, govern- ment agencies, institutions, universities, non-profit organizations and private firms throughout the region are coming together 100 years later under the auspices of the Burnham Plan Centennial to educate and inspire people throughout the region. Chicago will look to build upon the successes of the Plan and act boldly to shape the future of Chicago and the surrounding areas. Begin- ning in the late 1870s, Burnham began making important contri- butions to Chicago’s parks, and much of his park work served as the genesis of the Plan of Chicago. The following essay provides Daniel Hudson Burnham from a painting a detailed overview of this fascinating topic. by Zorn , 1899, (CM). Early Years Born in Henderson, New York in 1846, Daniel Hudson Burnham moved to Chi- cago with his parents and six siblings in the 1850s. His father, Edwin Burnham, found success in the wholesale drug busi- ness and was appointed presidet of the Chicago Mercantile Association in 1865. After Burnham attended public schools in Chicago, his parents sent him to a college preparatory school in New England. He failed to be accepted by either Harvard or Yale universities, however; and returned Plan for Lake Shore from Chicago Ave. on the north to Jackson Park on the South , 1909, (POC).

  • Our Response to Friends of the Parks' 'State of the Parks' Report
    Our Response To Friends of the Parks’ ‘State of the Parks’ Report December 21, 2018 A MESSAGE FROM THE CHICAGO PARK DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT The Chicago Park District is thoroughly disappointed in Friends of the Park’s (FOTP) recent “State of the Parks 2018” report. The report is inaccurate and blatantly disregards important capital and programmatic gains that have been made in parks across Chicago. As a result of massive expan- sion of park acreage and facilities since 2011, 99.6 percent of Chicago residents are within a 10 mi- nute walk of a park. Over the last eight years, the Chicago park system has seen unprecedented growth, including 1,000 additional acres of park land, 355 renovated or new playgrounds, 35 new artificial turf fields and 16 new park field houses that are complete or now under construction. These gains have not gone unnoticed, as we were the largest municipal park agency in the nation to win the prestigious 2014 Gold Medal Award for Excellence in Parks and Recreation Manage- ment, awarded by The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), which recognized in- vestments made to create a brighter, healthier future for all of Chicago's children. While we appreciate the necessity of civic groups that seek to educate citizens, this report demonstrates the opposite. In an attempt to make their organization relevant, FOTP intentional- ly cites old data and manipulates and distorts the analysis and methodology of current data to highlight its own agenda. Despite the claim of gathering and analyzing all available data, the re- port fails to consult the 2018 Trust for Public Land ParkScore and the Chicago Park District’s 400+ page 2017 Master Plan, which is readily available on our website at www.ChicagoParkDistrict.com.

  • CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN Capital Improvement Plan
    2 0 2 0 - 2 0 2 4 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN Capital Improvement Plan The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is the District’s comprehensive multi-year plan for land acquisition and park development, new building construction, building and facility management, park site improvements, and technology and major equipment. The CIP outlines the projects that are expected to take place over the next five years. Capital projects typically have costs of over $10,000, have a life expectancy of at least 5 years, and may result in the creation of a capital asset. The Capital Improvement Plan is a dynamic and evolving guide for spending over a five-year period. The CIP outlines spending priorities and expected schedules and is formed to allow for adjustment over the five-year period. The CIP allows for flexibility, for instance, if actual project expenses are above (or below) a projected budget in the CIP, as new outside funding is granted for specific projects or programs, or as new district priorities develop. The CIP is published annually to reflect the growth of the Plan each year. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN IMPROVEMENT CAPITAL Capital Improvement Plan Process Throughout the year, the Park District compiles requests for capital improvements from numerous sources. External requests generally come from annual budget hearings, letters, emails, website inquiries, legislators, advisory councils, board meetings, community groups, city agencies, new laws, unfunded mandates, and other similar sources. Internal requests are typically derived from park inspections, facility assessments, the work order system, framework plans, policy initiatives, strategic objectives, and needs identified by recreation, culture, service, planning, construction, and maintenance departments.

  • Calumet Park Fieldhouse 9801 South Avenue G
    LANDMARK DESIGNATION REPORT Calumet Park Fieldhouse 9801 South Avenue G Preliminary Landmark recommendation approved by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks, March 2, 2006 CITY OF CHICAGO Richard M. Daley, Mayor Department of Planning and Development Lori T. Healey, Commissioner Above: Map of Southeast Side of Chicago with Calumet Park Fieldhouse encircled. The Commission on Chicago Landmarks, whose nine members are appointed by the Mayor, was established in 1968 by city ordinance. The Commission is responsible for recommending to the City Council which individual buildings, sites, objects, or districts should be designated as Chicago Landmarks, which protects them by law. The landmark designation process begins with a staff study and a preliminary summary of information related to the potential designation criteria. The next step is a preliminary vote by the land- marks commission as to whether the proposed landmark is worthy of consideration. This vote not only initiates the formal designation process, but it places the review of city permits for the property under the jurisdiction of the Commission until a final landmark recommendation is acted on by the City Council. This Landmark Designation Report is subject to possible revision and amendment during the designation process. Only language contained within the designation ordinance adopted by the City Council should be regarded as final. CALUMET PARK FIELDHOUSE 9801 SOUTH AVENUE G BUILT: 1922-24 ARCHITECTS: SOUTH PARK COMMISSION ARCHITECTS (LINN WHITE, CHIEF ENGINEER) ARTIST: FREDERICK C. HIBBARD Chicago’s parks constitute one of the city’s most important historic resources with their abundance of historically and architecturally significant landscapes and buildings.
