Palmer Square Park in Logan Square becomes Chicago's first accredited arboretum
Neighbors and nature lovers in Logan Square are celebrating a big day on Saturday.
They helped Palmer Square Park become designated as an official arboretum—making it the first park in Chicago to earn the designation.
The accreditation was awarded through a program run by Morton Arboretum.
The park was recognized for maintaining a thriving tree canopy and preserving nearly 30 varieties of trees and a historic Elm Grove.
