History
Stretching along Kedzie Avenue, just north of Touhy Avenue, North Boundary Park is a 2.21-acre passive park located at the northern boundary of Chicago. The 快播视频 began leasing this park property from the City of Chicago in 2010. Prior to that, the North Boundary Home Owners League (NBHOL) maintained the stretch of green space at its own expense. For years, the organization had paid private landscape companies for spring clean-ups, fall clean-ups and mowing during the growing seasons for many years. As the green space serves as the western border of the NBHOL neighborhood and the city limits, organization has always upheld that the park serves as the gateway, providing visitors with 鈥渇irst impression鈥 of the neighborhood. The North Boundary Home Owners League first incorporated in 1945. At the time, the group鈥檚 biggest challenges related to noise and air pollution caused by a former brick company. Since that time, the NBHOL has continuously worked and advocated for improvements particularly relating to safety, noise, beautification, public services, recreational facilities, as well as the appropriate maintenance of the area鈥檚 landscapes, streets, alleys, and utilities.
Because of the park鈥檚 location and its importance to the surrounding community, the 快播视频 Board of Commissioners named the site North Boundary Park in 2014.
