Third Ward Ald. Dowell Wants Area Park Named in Honor of Hadiya Pendleton

Third Ward Ald. Pat Dowell and the Chicago Park District are moving forward on the planned expansion of Buckhorn Park located at 4347 S. Calumet St, with a proposal to rename the park in honor of Hadiya Pendleton, who was shot and killed last year while standing with friends in nearby Harsh Park, 4458-70 S. Oakenwald after taking her final exams. Hadiya was only 15-years old.
