6 Ward Central

Dealing with basement flooding or sewer issues after rainstorms?

The City of Chicago's Private Sewer Drain Program may help eligible homeowners with repairs when the problem is located on the public side of the sewer line.

If you're experiencing water in your basement, call 311 and submit a "Water in Basement" service request to get started.

Beat Meetings are one of the best ways to connect directly with your local police officers, discuss public safety concerns, and work together on solutions that impact your block. Check the 2026 schedules for the 003, 006, and 007 Districts and join the conversation.

A safer community starts with an engaged community.

Event Update: The Future Entrepreneurs Pitch Day & Conference has been postponed.

We look forward to bringing this opportunity back soon and will share a new date as soon as it's available. Thank you for your patience, and stay tuned for updates.

There's always something happening in the 6th Ward!

Whether you're looking to get active at the Gospel Run Pop-Up, support our young innovators at the Future Entrepreneurs Pitch & Day Conference, or enjoy an evening of fellowship and dancing at Steppin' in the Shade, I encourage you to come out and get involved.

These events are great opportunities to connect with neighbors and continue building the strong sense of community that makes the 6th Ward special.

I hope to see you there.

6th Ward Together

Another investment in the 6th Ward is complete.

Today, we celebrated the reopening of the newly renovated tennis and pickleball courts at Tuley Park. These improvements create more opportunities for residents of all ages to stay active, connect with neighbors, and enjoy quality recreational spaces right here in our community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the ribbon cutting and helped mark this exciting milestone. I look forward to seeing these courts filled with friendly competition, exercise, and community for years to come.

In observance of Juneteenth and today’s ribbon cutting, the 6th Ward Office will close early on Thursday, June 18 and will be closed for the entire day on Friday, June 19th.

Regular office hours will resume on Monday, June 22.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Juneteenth.

A great park deserves great amenities.
