Photos! Early spring fun at Winnemac Park

I've been meaning to post these Winnemac Park Easter Egg Hunt photos from April...better late than never!  Community Christian Church that meets at Chappell school sponsored the Egg Hunt.    The coffee and goodies were great on the chilly morning. The Winnemac Park area community comes out and enjoys holidays and special events together....always something to do!

If you are interested in helping form a "play-lot committee" or want to help with various special events like this one at the park make sure you are on our neighbor email list...

Spring fever at Winnemac Park play-lot

It was a zoo at the Winnemac Park play-lot last weekend.  The future looks bright!

Spring Clean and Green wrap up, Winnemac Park in the news!

Over 30 people (and some of their kids) came out to the 2nd Annual Spring Clean and Green on Saturday morning at Winnemac Park...despite the snow on the ground.  Ouch!  The event was in concert with the City-wide Spring Clean and Green Earth Day celebrations supported by the 47th and 40th Wards Aldermen and the Streets and Sanitation Yard.

Check out the video by Northwestern University Medill School Journalist student Jayna Omaye!

Thanks to neighbors Jeffrey Newman, Scott Bloom and Karen Kolb for helping with set up, staffing the registration table and cleaning up! 

 Neighbors register and fill-up on breakfast goodies and coffee...it was cold!

 

 

Hard work = strawberries and donuts!

Neighbors also helped identify and mark Ash trees that are in danger of infestation.  

Winnemac Park on Saturday, April 20th 2013

We have our bags!

Thank you to the Winnemac Park Advisory Council (email park@winnemac.org) for co-sponsoring the event and to all the neighbors for greening the park!  Watch here for more "meet-up, clean-up" events coming soon.  Even though we have a great and relatively clean park, we found plenty of glass and trash to clean up...keep an eye out!

This year's most interesting find in the park... a 6 ft metal pole!

See you next time!
