On November 10, 2012 from 8:45 a.m. to 12:00 noon, the Chicago Healthy Kids, Healthy Communities partnership is hosting a Regional Park Zones Summit on November 10, 2012 at the Nature Room of the Humboldt Park Boat House (1400 North Sacramento Avenue, Chicago).  Anyone in the region who’s interested in learning more about Park Zones and their implementation is welcome to attend.

This summit will highlight efforts in Chicago and suburban municipalities to make parks and trails more safe and accessible, especially through traffic-calming infrastructure improvements.  Public administrators, planners, and professionals in the Chicago metropolitan area will have an opportunity to share and learn from others’ experiences implementing park zones.

The event is free but attendees should RSVP to Andres Alvear (andres@activetrans.org or 312-427-3325 x 296).
