Aster Playlot to Be Renovated through Chicago Plays!

Playground Renovation Program. Aster will be one of the first playgrounds to be built in the first year of the Chicago Plays! program.

CPAC and Chase Park will be working with Friends of the Parks and the Chicago Park District over the coming months to determine construction dates and potential playground designs.
