"Pocket Park" Coming to 2099 S. Prairie Ave.

Apparently a new park is coming to Prairie Ave.  A reader writes (via cityofchicago.org):

A new park on the Near South Side will be financed through a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) plan approved today (February, 10th 2016)  by City Council.  

TIF assistance in the amount of $2 million will enable the construction of a half-acre "pocket park" by the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority (MPEA) at 2099 S. Prairie Ave.  

Intended for use by area residents and visitors, the park will include a playground, water play area, a fenced dog area, and a plaza with seating. To be financed entirely by TIF, the park is part of the "Elevate Chicago" expansion initiative involving MPEA and other properties around the McCormick Place convention center.
