After reluctantly taking a trip with her Mother to Unity Park in Logan Square, a Young Girl befriends an eccentric Tree Keeper who teaches her the history of the area, while simultaneously engaging her imagination.
After meeting a friendly Tree Keeper named Lynn, a young girl named Harper and her overworked Mom are called to go on an adventure of the imagination. Gazebos become jellyfish, a playground morphs into a dense jungle, and Lynn is revealed to be much more than she seems. Join them as the group explores Unity Park, which contains a rich and vibrant history, and learn about its place in the Logan Square area. The group will visit the Illinois Centennial Monument, explore the park and all of its imaginative wonders, and even take a trip to Milwaukee Avenue, which according to Harper brims with alien life. It’s an adventure for the ages!
