The Kelvyn Park field house is in need of repair, and Park Advisory Council President Casey Guerra lead the effort to apply for the Chicago Works Community Challenge that offers $1.5 million to one project in each of 7 regions.
The largest park in Hermosa, Kelvyn Park has been home to the theatre performances, festivals, sports leagues, wedding receptions, seminars, community meetings and events.
There are 3 critical areas of need, and this video shows the extensive damage from water leaking into the auditorium, the limited accessibility for patrons to get into the building and the gymnasium bathrooms that are out of order because of extensive plumbing problems.
Community support is needed, so please fill out this survey by November 12th and help save the field house from further deterioration.
