The 606 / Trail Mix Series Event at the McCormick Tribune YMCA

6/6/2014

0 Comments

 
From The Trust for Public Land's website -- "The 606 is an innovative project on Chicago's Northwest side that will transform nearly three miles of unused rail line into the elevated Bloomingdale Trail, which will be linked to five ground-level neighborhood parks. When complete, it will also feature an observatory, skate park, art installations, educational programming, and other amenities." 

Here's info about The 606 Trail Mix's next event --
Bikes: Gear-up & Get Ready
+ Friends of the Bloomingdale Trail Potluck

Saturday, June 7 (11 a.m.-2 p.m.)

McCormick Tribune YMCA
1834 N. Lawndale

The 606 will be a 2.7 mile long park that is just south of, and parallel to, Armitage Avenue -- so it's very close to where the Armitage Arts Festival will be happening!
