Celebrating in Woodlawn
Woodlawn runs along Cottage Grove and 63rd Street, between the Midway Plaisance on the north and Jackson Park on the east side. The neighborhood has a rich cultural history, a strong tradition of civic organizing and a mix of greystones, courtyard buildings and new construction. Its proximity to the University of Chicago brings graduation parties and reunions each spring. The area also has a long tradition of faith-based organizing, and church events here often double as community meetings.
Jackson Park, with its lagoons, Wooded Island and lakefront, is a major public draw, and the Midway Plaisance's long, green stretch is popular for picnics and cultural events. The Green Line's 63rd and Cottage Grove stop and the Metra Electric make transit access easy. Churches, from large congregations to storefront ministries, anchor many of the area's gatherings. Nearby Hyde Park and the university campus add a steady pulse of reunions and graduation events through May and June.
Large public parks for picnics and gatherings; permits go through the Chicago Park District.
