The City of Chicago 312 Riverrun announced new milestones earlier this week including a two-mile recreational hub connecting the Irving Park, North Center, Avondale and Albany Park neighborhoods to three parks with one path. Led by the Chicago Park District, the new studio ice rink and expansion of McFetridge Sports Center is now complete, and work is continuing to improve California Park and Horner Park. The Chicago Department of Transportation will also begin construction of the Irving Park Road Bridge. The 312 RiverRun projects are part of the Mayor’s Building on Burnham plan to invest in projects that create new recreational opportunities across Chicago. The 312 RiverRun project is a collaboration between the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT), Department of Planning & Development (DPD) and the Chicago Park District and continues Mayor Emanuel’s goal of developing a continuous river trail system. Once complete, the project will extend across 95 acres and provide residents with direct access to a network of recreational amenities supported by the Chicago Park District, including: wheelchair accessible baseball fields, fitness centers, playgrounds, an indoor ice skating rink, tennis courts, outdoor pool, boat houses and more.
