South Park Then & Now
The WPCC and Hyde Park Historical Society present South Park: Then and Now, an on-line photo exhibit, that
weaves together historic and contemporary images of South Park: Jackson, Washington Parks and the Midway
Plaisance. The photo essay highlights the importance of Olmsted’s landscapes in the past as well as the vital role
they play in the lives of Chicagoans today.
South Park Then and Now , part of the nationwide Olmsted 200 “Parks for All People “ celebration,
is presented as part of Art Design Chicago Now, an initiative funded by the Terra Foundation for American Art
that amplifies the voices of Chicago’s diverse creatives, past and present, and explores the essential role they
play in shaping the now.
