Friends of Portage Park serves as the park's advisory council.

We provide input, recommendations, and assistance to the Chicago Park District and other agencies on matters related to needs and concerns of the Portage Park community and everyone who uses the park.



We plan fun events, sometimes in conjunction with the Chicago Park District, and sometimes independently, in order to foster engagement in our park and neighborhood.

We raise funds and work for the continuous improvement of Portage Park so that it will be an important community destination for years to come.
