Playworks Chicago Office Up and Running!

  1. Updates

We have lots to do to make it our perfect “work and play” space, but we are well on our way! We are located downtown (map), right in the Loop’s theater district, and we are getting accustomed to the amazing array of restaurants and action near our new home. We share the office with another wonderful non-profit, Urban Gateways, and they have been great in welcoming us into the space. Our ladder golf game has been delivered and set up, and we have plans for a four square and wall ball area in the conference room. We promise to have meetings in there, too.
