IV. Explanation

In 2018, the Chicago Park District (“Park District”) updated the South Lakefront Framework Plan. This plan is a community-based vision for the future of Jackson Park and South Shore Park. Residents and local stakeholders played a pivotal role in designing and shaping a better future for the South Lakefront. Through an extensive 10-month community process, the Park District and its partners hosted 13 meetings to discuss various topics, including passive and active recreation, water use and ecology, connectivity as well as culture and history on Chicago’s south lakefront.

 

Through this planning process, insights from park users helped develop a Framework Plan that is sound and steadfast for the enjoyment of current residents and future generations. The plan sets a course for the evolution of the south lakefront parks and provides a flexible structure allowing it to evolve with future demands and outlines recommendations for land use and management over the next ten years.

 

The plan developed a guiding vision for the future of the park as well as eleven guiding principles of the plan grouped into three main categories: Serve the Community, Inspire the World; Renew & Maintain Park Legacy; and Steward  Environmental Integrity & Beauty.

 

This South Shore Park and Jackson Park Renovation project shall be guided by this South Lakefront Framework Plan including the guiding principles and recommendations.
