Spark your curiosity and explore the fun & educational offerings at the Chicago Park District’s only park with a teaching greenhouse, located within the grounds of Kilbourn Park. Created by the Irving Park District, Kilbourn Park takes its name from adjoining Kilbourn Street, named in honor of a small town located near the Wisconsin Dells. The Irving Park District had formed in 1910 to create and manage parks for its tree-lined, middle-class neighborhood. Fifteen years later, the district acquired the site for Kilbourn Park and improvements began. By the late 1920s, the park's recreational features included athletic fields, a running track, horseshoe and tennis courts, an 18-hole putting green, two playgrounds, a children's wading pool, a sand box, and penned-in rabbits. Kilbourn Park also had a fieldhouse, maintenance building, and greenhouse. A unique feature, the greenhouse was used to display tropical plants and to propagate outdoor plants for use throughout the entire Irving Park District.

featuring Leo & Lou Spain / 2025 / 102 mins. Directed by Carlos Solano.

Leo, a mute ten-year-old orphan, escapes from the children’s home where she lives to travel to a fishing competition. On the way, Lou, a non-conformist with barely a penny to his name, finds the little girl on the road, hitchhiking. Unaware of Leo’s real objective, he agrees to give her a ride, believing he’s taking her back home to her family. Thus begins this peculiar journey of a girl who doesn’t speak and a man who doesn’t want to listen. But in spite of everything, they become inseparable and discover the extraordinary meaning of the word "family."

This movie is underwritten by the International Latino Cultural Center.
