The Supera Playlot website has been given a face lift as you can tell by the new design. Kind of the internet equivalent of a Spring cleaning.
Along with the look and feel, one of the great updates is the ability to receive the latest playlot news via email. Want to get the latest Supera Playlot news sent directly to you by email? If so then subscribe to our email feed and receive the latest news as it is reported.

Greetings! We are very pleased to inform everyone that today our alderman, Ted Matlak, presented the Chicago Park District with a check for $215,000 for the renovation of our Supera Playlot. We were then pleasantly surprised to hear the Superintendent of the Park District, Tim Mitchell, promise to match this with a $200,000 contribution from the Chicago Park District. This is an amazing development for our project and is a testament to working together in a positive way toward a common goal. Along with the $145,000 that we have raised, we are in a very good position with nearly complete funding lined up for our renovation in 2008! We are very grateful to Ted Matlak, the Wrightwood Neighbors, the Supera Playlot Advisory Council, the Chicago Park District, the Parkways Foundation, Friends of the Park and the Supera Family for their many productive contributions.
We’d like to thank everyone in the Supera community who played a role in helping this come to fruition. There’s still plenty of work ahead of us, so please stay in touch!

Ted Matlak, 32nd Ward Alderman, presents Tim Mitchell, CPD Superintendant, with a check for $215,000 for Supera Playlot renovations. This will be matched by the Chicago Park Department up to $200,000. Playlot re-design will commence this year followed by construction in 2008.
Mr. Supera says a few words. The Supera family has made a generous donation to the project as has the Wrightwood Neighbors Association.
Hi, Everyone! I am getting back to you quicker than I thought with very big news!
The Chicago Park District contacted us today to inform us that a press conference will be held at Supera Playlot tomorrow (Tuesday, March 27) at 2:00pm, so that our alderman, Ted Matlak, can present Tim Mitchell, CPD Superintendent, with a generous check to help finance the renovation of our great playlot. It is very important to us that you be there (sorry about the short notice) in order to be recognized for your contributions to this effort. In addition, as the news media will be there to cover the event, we’d love to have lots of kids there for photo opportunities. Please come – it represents a huge community achievement and a great initiative for the future of our neighborhood!

We have received a hint of the future from our Alderman, Ted Matlak. We have been scheduled to renovate our playlot in 2008, hopefully in the spring. While there are no guarantees until they break ground, we are hoping that this plan will hold up over the next 11-12 months. Based on that, we have sent out letters to businesses soliciting donations to complete our financing plan. The finance/fundraising committee will be busy this year getting the remaining elements of funding in place, including starting our neighborhood brick drive. If any of you are interested in taking a role in this, or if you know of any neighbor who would be a good finance committee member, please let us know!

Hi, Everyone! Sorry it’s been so long since our last correspondence. After a winter hiatus, we are ready to hit the ground running! Our next meeting will be on Tuesday April 24th at 7pm at my house (1219 W. Wrightwood).

What’s this, a new boulder garden at Supera Playlot? No, just the footings for the old swingset. The old set was showing it’s age and in need of replacement. Look for the new set this swing … I mean spring.

The sand at Supera Playlot has once again been replaced, this time with a much finer grade. Much better for building sand castles.
Out with the old…
