The tent city in Touhy Park has disbanded as its residents have found housing, allowing for officials to work on fully reopening the park, officials said.
Restoration work is underway at the park after the Park District last week began enforcing its rules against camping or being in parks after curfew, according to notices posted at the park.
Park rules on camping were enforced starting Friday, according to the post. But the tent city was already vacated as of March 24, when its last residents left for more permanent housing, said Ald. Maria Hadden (49th).
The action ends a nearly two-year presence of a tent city in Touhy Park, which caused the closure of park facilities and became a lighting rod in the neighborhood and the Rogers Park aldermanic election.

On March 23, 1992, the Clark/Lake elevated station's entrances over Clark Street were closed and new access opened from the newly-constructed elevated platforms to the State of Illinois Center and 203 N. LaSalle Building. With all access to both the Loop and subway stations through the same access points -- also allowing transfers without leaving a paid area -- the subway and elevated stations were combined into a single facility known as Clark/Lake, with the subway station thus dropping the Lake Transfer moniker.
