Dunbar Park has a good amount of athletic features. Picnic groves are also a popular reason to come here. There's also an interactive water feature popular in summers. Around the time of World War I, the Douglas community became densely populated by African-Americans. It was an elegant neighborhood full of mansions. These mansions were divided up into apartments to house these new residents. It was a pretty rough area in the Great Depression. The area was revitalized in 1956 with the opening of Paul Dunbar High School. A few years later this park opened next to it. These are named after the famous African-American author, one of the first who was critically successful. He didn't live for long, but he still was able to put lots of work out. These include 5 novels, 12 books of poetry, and a play. Good park for the area. It feels like it's pretty safe to be honest. This is a place for playing sports or just to come play in the water.

Good park for athletics located in Bridgeport. It conveniently is across 35th from the Sox stadium…read more Armour Square Park is pretty okay for the area. Has a few baseball and softball diamonds. There's also a pretty big fieldhouse. A park located in a neighborhood of the same name, known for athletics. It's well known for being across from the Sox stadium of course. The park is named after Philip D. Armour, who was considered Chicago's "captain of industry," and owned the largest meatpacking company in the world. A lot of athletics are here. The fieldhouse was completed in 1905 and has an auditorium, a fitness center, two gymnasiums, and meeting rooms. Among the athletic fields are baseball, football, soccer, and tennis courts. There's also a pool and a playground. For sure it's a place to play sports, outside or inside. It's got a pretty impressive fieldhouse with lots of character and charm to be sure. This is also a convenient option for those going to Sox games or whatever.

It's also adjacent to U.S. Cellular Field, the Home of Chicago White Sox. It has the basic amenities: children's playground, a large field that is often used for high school football practice, concrete paths good for exercising and walking the dog. However, I think the park is need of an update. Most benches, chairs, and tables were certainly functional, yet I noticed the screws have come out from some of them. Whenever the park office isn't open, users can utilize the porta-potty by the stadium. It's accessible via the red line. Just get off at the CTA-Sox/35th. stop. I know, I know. Why do I review so many Chicago parks? My followers knew the answer already (hint, hint...I play Pokemon Go). Bridgeport is one of my favorite neighborhoods in the city. It's close to downtown, Chinatown, and has a few must-visit local flavors.

I first went to this park 10 years ago when I was 18 for the 4th of July fireworks. This time I took my baby brother who is 12. Parking on holiday: There was hardly any parking but we did park across the street in the parking lot for the small children play park. The walk across the street was not long at all, but making it thru a ton of people was. safety: In today's society, it is not so safe to be outside anywhere in Chicago or the suburbs of Chicago. With the firework bombs and loud people I was kind of shaking siting in open field because of all of the mass shootings happening here. But On the 4th of July there were plenty of police but that did not stop the teenagers from running in the crowds with M-80's bombs. They did catch the "cool" teens who kept doing this but it still scared the daylights out of the younger babies there. Fireworks: The firework show was exactly 20 minutes long and worth the wait and mosquito bites. The colors were big and vibrant! my brother couldn't take his eyes off of it. They were so close it looked like you could touch them. they were very beautiful! I recommend bringing your family, but keep them in eye reach.

I come here quite often when its time to walk my 6 dogs, and I do have to admit that a doggie park in the area would be better. Although I don't mind this park in the least since it is very dog friendly and the families that do come here are kind to my pets and very seldom ask to pet them. Since I think people should not just assume your pups are friendly (although mine are of course) I still don't agree with people petting for the sake of petting. The park is very clean and I do see that the staff associated with the park try their best to keep it clean. I do at times get disappointed when there is litter strew all over the place, but this is a family park and for the most part is always full of families and others so of course a little litter is expected. The park is pretty spacious so there is something happening all over. Kids playing, the field house, ball games, football games. Something of everyone of course. On the weekends it can be a bit hectic, since this is the time that everyone seems to be out, but still, it is a good atmosphere and the people who come to this park are friendly for the most part.

Has all kinds of athletic facilities and structures good for casual joggers and athletic leagues. There's a few other features like the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial. Certainly this doesn't seem like the kind of place that would have a golf course. In fact it actually does. This takes up an entire side of the park. Other athletic fields include a few baseball diamonds. There's also a running track. Kids can find lots of safe activities to participate in. There's also a pretty strong police presence with a precinct on the north side. It's pretty safe compared to the rest of the area. This used to not be such a place to come to but it's gotten a lot better than it used to be for sure. Highlights include the athletic facilities. It also has a Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial. This acknowledges the time he spent in Chicago and his work getting affordable housing for minorities and other civil rights he participated in those years.
