Betty Swan Community Arboretum

Formerly the Arthington Senior Garden, the Betty Swan Community Arboretum fills five contiguous vacant lots with an array of shrubs, perennials and trees. This garden is a tree park to be used as a "living laboratory" and teaching tool for area school science projects. The arboretum is at the heart of a residential street lined with 19th century Greystone two-flat buildings, common to West Side neighborhoods. It is managed by the North Lawndale Greening Committee and protected by NeighborSpace.
