Maintenance of the Triangle Park Native Plants & Grasses Community Garden
Natural plants and grasses garden – Joanna Erenberg, has kindly volunteered her time to be our ongoing point person for the care of the Native Plants & Flowers Garden. Joanna also helps coordinate and run the oldest community gardens in Chicago, the Howard Aread Community Gardens, which are kitty-corner from Triangle Park. Also worth checking out when you are in the vicinity.
Recently, she had a work crew digging out the striped grass which is too invasive. When that is finished, other native plants will be planted that are not as invasive. She will also see that a splash of color is planted in the triangle point.
If you would like to volunteer your time to help us maintain this beautiful garden, please contact her by email at joannalake@yahoo.com.

What Happened to Renaming Triangle Park?
Back in 2009, TPAC helped facilitate an informal community poll at the Willye B. White Community Center to rename Triangle Park after a female community leader. This request to rename the park was made by the Chicago Park District. On January 5, 2010 a special meeting of TPAC was held to discuss the results of the poll and propose the winning name to the Park District and Alderman Joe Moore.
These were the results of the poll:
These were the results of the poll:
electronic paper
Carmen Dyse Ellis 365 98
Mary Jo Doyle 27 0
Tobey Prinz 99 0
The council taking into account the results of the community poll, drafted a majority and minority report depicting Carmen Dyse Ellis as the former and Tobey Prinz as the latter. In April 2010, Triangle Park Advisory Council submitted all the proper forms for a name change to Carmen Dyse-Ellis Nature Park and submitted it to both the Chicago Park District and Alderman Joe Moore for consideration.
Carmen was an outstanding and well-liked teacher at Gale Academy
To our disappointment we learned last tim that the Board of Commissioners does not always follow the recommendation of the community. We asked them to honor and accept the work the community has done in this regard, and affirm its choice of Carmen Dyse-Ellis Nature Park .
As of July 31st, 2011 we do not know whether or not they will choose to rename the park.
Please help us to let them know that the community has spoken, and we would like to see the name changed. You can do so by contacting our Park District liason, Sandra Olson sandra.olson@chicagoparkdistrict.com, and Alderman Joe Moore ward49@cityofchicago.org.
