Forest Park Community Garden

El Coqui Garden, established in 1998 and located in the Humboldt Park neighborhood of Chicago, is a vibrant community space named after Puerto Rico's iconic Coqui tree frog. Originally a vacant lot, the garden was transformed by local residents and now features a variety of flower and vegetable beds, serving as an educational resource for students from Von Humboldt Elementary School. This intergenerational oasis brings together community members of all ages for activities such as picnics and potlucks while promoting cultural learning through gardening. The site manager emphasizes the importance of community engagement and advocacy to ensure the garden remains a cherished local asset. Generated from the website
