<h3>THANK YOU to all the event hosts and volunteers that made It&rsquo;s Your Park Day 2026 a HUGE Success!</h3>
One Day 350 Volunteers 35 Parks 11 Years of It's Your Park Day!
Chicago Parks Foundation thanks the PACs, partners, alderpeople, and community members who got outside to a neighborhood park and made an impact. Activities went beyond just trash pick-up and also included planting, painting, gardening, cleanup, cultural performances, food, fun &ndash; and lots of hard work! 10 groups mulched trees and 12 groups replenished their playground's woodchips.&nbsp;Special thanks to Chicago Park District's Mike Brown and the grounds team. All of these parks are refreshed and ready for an incredible summer season ahead!
