Wentworth Gardens Park Rehabilitation: A grant to the city of Chicago will allow the Chicago Park District to rehabilitate the existing field house, landscape the surrounding park, and improve recreational programming at Wentworth Gardens Park. This is the only park within walking distance from the adjacent Chicago Housing Authority public housing development.

The field house, constructed in 1947, has seriously deteriorated, but remains a viable site for much needed recreational and other services. Proposed repairs include the roof removal and replacement; window replacement; door replacement; plumbing, mechanical, and electrical systems replacement.
