Welcome to the Pulaski Park Neighborhood Association website!  

The Pulaski Park Neighborhood Association (PPNA)  is a membership organization of residents, homeowners and businesses in the area bounded by Division Street, Ashland Avenue and the Kennedy Expressway on the near northwest side of Chicago, Illinois.

We work closely with  the aldermanic, chamber of commerce and  police departments to ensure our community's needs are met and make recommendations to the Aldermanic offices regarding neighborhood zoning changes and improvements.   We now have quarterly e-business meetings, publish this on-line newsletter/website and annually host a summer picnic, a Canine Carnival for dog owners at the local dog park, neighborhood clean-ups and a winter holiday party. 

PPNA is open to all community residents or business owners and we always welcome new members.  Join in, we'd love to see you at our next event!  

Join us for a Potluck post-holiday dinner with other PPNA members, Sunday, Jan 20th, 7-9 pm at 1239 N. Greenview   RSVP at 773/354-1239 and bring a side dish, salad or dessert to share.

Meetings and Events

Have you checked out ToJo an art gallery on Division?  South on Milwaukee Avenue is a new bakery and cafe as "Lovely" as its name.   Stop by AUGUST, our newest specialty grocery at the corner of Division and Greenview,  to check out their daily lunch or dinner specials or weekly cooking classes - you will learn how to prepare fish, poultry or red meats and you get dinner, too -  classes are on most Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7-9 pm

If you haven't stopped by for a cappuccino yet in the morning, you should stop by on your way home for some fresh ingredients and even fresher ideas on what to make for dinner

 George and Angela are there to help make your life easier and healthier.    They are now open every day of the week.  They do have seating in the patio for warm weather months for you to enjoy your coffee al fresco

What are your feelings about removal of the benches at the Polish Triangle?  The SSA#33 has voted to have them removed to eliminate the vagrancy that currently occurs.  What else could be done to make the Triangle cleaner and safer?

Beware of persons posing as inspectors or neighbors, who wish to enter your building.  Local senior residents have recently been targeted in the neighborhood by persons wanting to get inside their home or apartment.

There are many broken tiles in the Pulaski Park courtyard.  Benches could be installed to keep ballplayers out of the area and from hitting the tile roof and breaking more tiles.  If you are for installation of benches, please write a letter to Jim Boldt, Pulaski Park Supervisor and express your opinions regarding installation of benches.

Have you made any new friends lately? 

Join us at the next PPNA business  meeting!

Are you interested in having the dog park become an official Park District dog park?  Money must be raised to show community support for the CPD to officially create a dog park with running water, pavement, et al.  If interested in helping, please email us at: ppnamail@yahoo.com.

Have you enjoyed one of the PPNA sponsored K9 Carnivales?  Kudos to Fred Holland for his devotion to Elmo and the rest of the neighborhood pups, when they enjoy the day of fun, games and treats each summer.
