Join us, your neighbors, in persuading the Chicago Park District that there are more equitable ways for the WPPA to expand its game schedule — primarily by investing in more parks that need well-tended ballfields. 60-foot LED lights at Welles Park will do little to expand sports opportunities across Chicago’s neediest neighborhoods.
