So excited to see this! We encourage everyone to visit the Coiled Serpent Mound at Horner Park!
We thank the American Indian Center - Chicago, Chicago Public Art Group, the artist X, and landscape architect Prof. Nilay Mistry for all the vision, expertise, and hard work they put into this project. We were honored to partner with you all!
Horner Park's Coiled Serpent Mound Now Open The spiraling earthen mound, designed by Indigenous artist Santiago X, honors the Native American tradition of mound building with a modern twist: a QR code that takes visitors on an augmented-reality experience.
Yay, Bistro 6050 Plus is open! We missed the good smells and tasty dishes!
As you may be aware, we had some hateful graffiti discovered near our playground. Please come out to our gathering this Saturday at 10am. Bring a frisbee, snacks, or anything you like and let’s show that hate speech is not welcome in our park.
