Project 120

At least four major projects are simultaneously underway in the historic park.

Some residents spoke out against a nonprofit's ongoing plans for the park.

Ald. Leslie Hairston said she's concerned a proposed visitors center is now too much for the park.

Bob Karr of Project 120 will talk about the garden's history and restoration with a tour on May 1.

Patricia O'Donnell said park redesign should concentrate on making it pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly.

Among the ideas are doubling the amount of trees in Washington Park and a new meadow for Jackson Park.

"SKY LANDING" will be installed by next year as part of Jackson Park overhaul.

The group is planning a $10 million visitors center and an art installation by Yoko Ono.

The widow of the late Beatle John Lennon will share in the design of the garden and pavilion.

Parks boosters are planning a $10 million visitors center for the north end of the park.

Project 120 will give an update on efforts to privately raise the money to build a new visitors center.

The south lakefront saw battles over a shuttered Dominick's and huge investments in Jackson Park.

More than a million flowers would be planted in the park, new islands built and ponds stocked with fish.

The group is bringing in the Frederick Law Olmsted expert to help with a transformation of the park.
