On a Friends of Big Marsh map handed out last fall by Geographic Society, the park's southeast area was called "Slag Meadow." That area is now a lot marshier — and I saw a lot of birds there yesterday.


The Outdoors Club at Ogden International celebrated #EarthDay today at Friends of Big Marsh It was a great day of learning, exploring and hiking! Thank you to Calumet Is My Back Yard (CIMBY) Field Museum & Faith in Place for putting on this event! @MsDudeck Chicago ParkDistrict #TheBestarewithCPS

Went to Big Marsh (Friends of Big Marsh) today with the kiddo and spent 4+ hours on the various bike trails. Wow, what an a-m-a-z-i-n-g resource for the people of Chicago.


We had a surprisingly warm week this November. Before the weather changes, check out Friends of Big Marsh Bike Park and the newly built Ford Calumet Environmental Center. It's one of the best parks on the South Side. #OuterbeltTrail #OuterbeltAlliance
