Legion Park, Eugene Field, Gompers Park: compassion and clean, safe parks go together. 45th Ward neighbors are organizing for both.

Compassion and Clean, Safe Parks Can Go Together

The 45th Ward deserves real solutions—not encampments shuffled from one neighborhood park to the next.

Gompers Park. Eugene Field. Legion Park. Every 45th Ward family knows the pattern: one encampment is cleared, and tents appear in another neighborhood park.

Residents have volunteered, raised concerns, and asked City Hall for a lasting plan. What they have received instead is improvisation while neighborhood parks carry the cost.

The Urban Center is organizing residents who believe compassion and clean, safe parks go together: real housing solutions for people living in tents and public spaces that families can actually use.
