at the Lakefront just south of Belmont Harbor.
After breaking ground in 2019, the AIDs Garden at Belmont Harbor is officially completed! We invite the community to gather and enjoy our newest park.
This historic spot is where the Belmont Rocks once were, which was a space the gay community from the 1960s to the late ’90s could gather proudly, socialize, and meet other LGBTQ+ folks in the light of day. The new garden strives to commemorate the lives of those lost in the epidemic and become a new green space in the community and for the city as a whole.

Fergie Jenkins Statue Unveiled at Gallagher Way Park |
Canadian baseball legend Fergie Jenkins was honored by the Chicago Cubs Friday with the unveiling of a new statue at Wrigley Field.
The Chatham-born Hall of Fame pitcher now has his own bronze statue along ‘Statue Row’ in a new section of the Chicago ballpark.
“Alongside a bunch of my teammates,” Jenkins told CTV News during a visit to his hometown last month. “My roommate Ernie Banks, and teammates Billy Williams and Ron Santo. It's going to be a small park right outside of Wrigley Field called Gallagher Way and we're going to be honored, all four of us are going to be together once again!”
