Nichols Park is located in the heart of Hyde Park, a diverse, vibrant community on Chicago’s southside.
The Nichols Park Advisory Council is a volunteer organization that represents the local community, advises the Chicago Park District, hosts events, organizes volunteers, and helps to maintain the natural landscape of the park.
We welcome community involvement of all types.
