Unity Green at Gill Park is a unique public park renovation located between the Uptown and Lakeview communities on north side of Chicago. The playground is intended as a precursor and catalyst to the implementation of the overall Master Plan. The playground was designed for ages 2-12 through educational, exploratory, and adventure areas that meld whimsical and colorful features with natural materials and play elements.

The Gill Park playlot, 825 West Sheridan, includes new rubber and artificial turf climbing mounds, four slides, new swings (three belt swings, two tot swings and one ADA swing), a multi-deck play structure with monkey bars and a play house.
The new space also includes a “parkour” play structure, balance posts and beams, a spinner seat, log beams and stumps, and upside-down trees…
“We owe a big thanks to community members, including Alan Bell, who fundraised for years to make this project a reality,” said Ald. James Cappleman in a letter to residents. “46th Ward menu funds and donations from Cubs Charities also made this project possible.”
