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!
