Group breaks ground on new Welles Park
A community came together to make a new play space for kids.

CHICAGO (WLS) -- A community came together to create a new play space for kids, and it's making Chicago proud.

Developers broke ground on a new one acre attraction that's being built at Welles Park near Western and Montrose. The goal is to help revitalize and restore local parks and park programs.

The $20,000 in grant money comes from a collaboration between the National Recreation and Park Association and the Walt Disney Company, which is the parent company of this station.
