Where Woodlawn hosts use heating & cooling

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.
