What We Do
The Gladstone Park Neighborhood Association in Chicago keeps the neighborhood informed about area developments through neighborhood meetings, social media sites, e-mail blasts, etc. We have fun by organizing monthly events like Thirsty Third Thursdays (in partnership with the Gladstone Park Chamber of Commerce) and our new 1st Thursday Supper Club! We also host an annual Pub Crawl (to fund our scholarship) , an annual Halloween party (to help fund Light Up Gladstone Park), and an annual Christmas Party! We assist with Throwback Music Fest through volunteering and event planning and co-host and volunteer for the Light Up Gladstone Park, our annual tree lighting ceremony at Chopin Plaza (Milwaukee/Elston). As you can see, this Chicago neighborhood association is a very active group!
