Celebrating in North Park
Two features make North Park distinctive. North Park Village Nature Center on Pulaski Road is a Chicago Park District site with trails and prairies, and the North Branch forest preserves provide green space for picnics and gatherings. The neighborhood is also home to Korean, Middle Eastern, Jewish and Latino communities, so celebrations vary widely and often include large guest lists.
Roomy lots suit graduations, baptisms and cookouts, usually with alley access.
Heating & cooling here: Propane patio heaters need clearance from tent walls, trees and eaves. Plan one heater per 10 to 12 guests on a cold night.

Heating & cooling here: Venues often have their own fire rules for propane. Electric heaters or forced-air units outside the space may be required.
