    I grew up in this park. It was very NICE in it's glory days. In years past you were able to drive through the entire park, that's long gone. I've been waiting for the CITY OF CHICAGO to put an actual Track & Football Field in this park for decades. It's finally arrived!!

    Because of the locals you should only go here armed or with security. This is not somewhere you would want to walk alone at night lest you gain some lead or some nice enterprising individual cares so much that he makes sure you no longer are required to carry your phone or he needs your iPhone more than you and kindly relieves you of it.

    Be aware when going to this park! A child was almost snatched here! Not that safe anymore.

    It's usually quite without a lot of ppl on one side. It's big enough to hold several events at. And there are lots of things to do, tennis court, like 6 basketball courts, a garden, maybe 3 or 4 baseball fields, and a nice trail for walking, jogging, running, or biking. There is also a field house! And one of the two playgrounds has recently been upgraded.

    I walk every morning for about one. Hour or more 6 days a week. I like walking the paths and they have a nice excise room in the field house. The park is well care for and very clean. They have a lots of things to during the summer especially fir kids.

  • 5/5 James G. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this park for the kids families and fun alot of things to do its a giant park

  • 3/5 Scott M. 5 months ago on Google
    There is a full-size soccer field, a running track, 2 playgrounds, a small one, and a large one, but the large playground is always locked. The waking path needs a lot of work, and if you walk at night, half of the path has no working lights

  • 2/5 Stella E. 11 months ago on Google
    Playground has been locked for over 2 years! Children are not able to play there!

  • 4/5 Rehanna A. 5 years ago on Google
    My friend and I went on a nice walk. We passed by other couples as well. Obviously couples find this a good place. It's a large park. I noticed very nice play areas for children. There's also a couple of basketball courts and baseball fields. I think it's just a nice park, spacious enough for privacy.
