(WBBM NEWSRADIO) — People need to pick up after themselves when they enjoy the city’s parks, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Tuesday.
The public wasn’t allowed at all outdoor settings last summer because of the pandemic. Now that the city of Chicago has fully reopened, people seem to be taking advantage of their new freedom — but also leaving litter.
“If you’re out there in a park enjoying yourself, that’s terrific, but clean up after yourself,” Lightfoot said. “I’m an old Girl Scout. I believe when you’re out there, you leave the environment better than when you found it.”
The Chicago Park District is looking to hire young workers to help keep the parks clean.
