Under this proposal, the City and Chicago Park District would exchange parcels at 74th and Woodlawn in the Grand Crossing neighborhood in order to move the current Woodlawn Park across the streets to 7329 S. Woodlawn Ave. in order to redevelop and enlarge the park from .38 acres to 1.25 acres in size. The City would use the old park facility as part of a proposed affordable housing development project. The Park district has committed $400,000 to the park’s development.
