BACKGROUND Jackson Park is a 500-acre park on Chicago's South Side, located at South Stony Island Avenue in the Woodlawn community area. It extends into the South Shore and Hyde Park community areas, bordering Lake Michigan and several South Side neighborhoods.The parkland was first developed as the host site of the Chicago World's Fair in 1893.The Museum of Science and Industry resides in the remaining "palace" in the park from that era, and a Japanese garden traces its history to the fair. The park includes woodland trails, playing fields, a beach, golf course, and a boat harbor. It is the future site of the Barack Obama Presidential Center and library.On July 27, 2016, President Barack Obama officially selected the park to be the location where his presidential library would be built.A non-profit organization called Project 120 began collaborating with the Chicago Park District in 2012 to restore Jackson Park to designer Frederick Law Olmsted's vision. The group's plans include improving the park's green space, creating a music pavilion, and creating a great lawn for park-goers to use for leisure activities.

THE TECHNOLOGY PLACED ON SITE IS TO COLLECT RENEWABLE RESOURCES:SUN & WIND ARE THE TWO BIGGEST RENEWABLE NATURAL SOURCE THAT IMPACT THE SITE. President Obama has compiled a remarkable record of environmental achievements. He has said many times that he "believes that no challenge poses a greater threat to our children, our planet and future generations than climate change — and that no other country on Earth is better equipped to lead the world towards a solution." The record spans everything from climate change to endangered species and ocean protection. Obama will go down in history especially for his fight against climate change.

Olmsted and Vaux designed Jackson Park as part of a 1,055-acre "South Park" system, connecting it via the linear Midway Plaisance to Washington Park. Though envisioned as a lush retreat from urban life, and founded to be "free to all persons forever," Jackson Park over the decades has been sliced by roads and diced into segments for specialized uses. Large swaths, including the science museum, the golf course and the harbors, require fees for use.Still, no one should think that pulling off a successful presidential library in Jackson Park will be easy. The challenges ahead — aesthetic, urban, social, political and economic — are enormous.
