Logan Boulevard Skate Park is much closer to completion than the Bloomingdale Trail, but was omitted in the Reader’s wonderful review of Logan Square [August 10]. Chicago’s first “covered skate park” is scheduled for construction in late 2007 by the Chicago Park District underneath the Kennedy Expressway overpass at 2400 W. Logan Blvd. Proposed by local park advocates with support from Friends of the Parks, Logan Boulevard Skate Park is a new activity jewel on Chicago’s famous boulevard system “emerald necklace” conceived by John S. Wright in 1849: “Of these parks I have a vision. They are all improved and connected with a wide avenue extending to and along the Lake shore on the north and south, and so surrounding the city with a magnificent chain of parks and parkways that have not their equal in the World.”
