NeighborSpace is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to acquire and support the community based management of small parks, gardens, natural areas, river edges, and scenic landscapes in the City of Chicago for preservation, conservation, and educational public open space purposes.

NeighborSpace primarily focuses on those parcels where community groups have established gardens or parks. These groups apply to NeighborSpace so the site can be owned by a nonprofit that has a mission to preserve and protect the sites. NeighborSpace continues to work in partnership with the three founding governmental agencies the City of Chicago, Chicago Park District, the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, as well as other nonprofit organizations and local community groups.
