The Bloomingdale: Chicago's Next Great Park



Imagine a 3-mile-long elevated linear park and trail running through the heart of Chicago, connecting neighborhoods, the river, and Chicago's great park system. Built from a former rail line, The Bloomingdale will make Chicago's residents healthier, get people to school and work faster, and provide communities with great chances to play and mingle. Sign up for our newsletter, support the project with a donation, and help realize this vision for Chicago’s Next Great Park!

Reframing Ruin Now Open!

Reframing Ruin - our photo exhibit documenting life along The Bloomingdale before construction - opened Thursday, February 28th at the Center for Neighborhood Technology (1741 N. Western Ave).

The exhibit runs through August 2013. See poster below for available viewing dates. 

Reframing Ruin is sponsored by The Trust for Public Land and Friends of the Bloomingdale Trail, in partnership with Youth Service Project. Learn more about the exhibit and the event here.
