After a building was destroyed by a fire, this replaced it. This is a pretty good replacement it seems. A location close to the eastern starting point of The 606, a popular trail made on a former railroad bed. It's just west of the Kennedy Expressway. The noise kind of ruins it to be honest. Even so, it's pretty nice to just hang a bit. This is a good place for getting on and off the trail. Among the features are a basketball court and soccer field. There's also a dog friendly area and a playground. In 1970 there was a fire that destroyed a building. John P. Walsh, Jr. was a firefighter who died five weeks after getting injured. A few months after his death, the Dana Civic Organization requested this land be developed into a park, and so the transformation began. This was opened in 1973 and is dedicated to his memory. Good thing to replace a building destroyed by a fire. It's got a lot here, especially for children with the pretty big playground. This is also convenient to get to from the bicycle trails, and it's close to the Clybourn Metra station so it's accessible by using public transportation.

We came here to see a live action Lucha Libre back in August 2024. It was a beautiful day to be…read moreoutside, although warm in direct sunlight. Parking was on the street and was somewhat of a challenge, but I manage to secure a spot not to far away from the park. The event was organized by Unity Park Advisory Council (UPAC) and Wrestle League (WL), and I have to say it was pretty well organized. There was a professional looking ring and the various wrestlers looked great. Because it was outside, you had to bring your own chairs. There was a small concession stand selling drinks and popcorn. There were quite a few matches, with villains and heroes, and high flying antics in the ring and outside the ring and over the ropes. It was a lot of fun and The Doctor and I totally got into the act by booing the villains as they strutted their stuff. This was such a good time and I guess they do this every year, so I will keep an eye out for the notification. Next year I will plan appropriately and make sure we get there early so we can camp out under a good shade tree.

All my guests were blown away by the cute place bc they had no idea it existed. I knew it existed bc I discovered it after I discovered the dog park across the street to it. I've done Archery here in the basement. I used to come here & just walk around the place bc it's so unique and rustic. I wanted to get married here but I was told as of 2016 they no longer allow events that serve liquor. So we had to scratch that idea and make it our bridal shower spot instead. I'm a chaotic person the day of events so I was all over the place. Jackie helped me bring up a couple extra tables I wanted to use. The park manager Jim was so kind communicating with me weeks prior to the party. The workers there had a lot of patience with me being unorganized! Bobby & Rueben helped me & my fiancé out with cleaning up the party when it was over. It was just so perfect. The bathrooms are obviously not perfect but At least they worked and it's not like they are one of those smelly outdoor parks bathrooms or portapotty. In fact I kind of thought the old structure of the bathrooms gave it character. Super inexpensive. They allowed me to bring my own food. There was a pool table in our room. So so so happy with this place! Thank you so much, Jim, Jackie, Bobby & Rueben! :)

Here is another local park, that's good for chilling or playing baseball. It certainly isn't the…read morefirst one of these to go to in the Lincoln Park neighborhood, but it's often a quieter and less crowded option. Jonquil Park is known for the athletic fields and playground. Even though it's not big, it's big enough. The entrance even has a cool sculpture. A neighborhood park is the best way to describe it. It's not nearly as popular as the neighborhood's namesake park. This is more for those who live in the area than for other locals and tourists. Best known for the baseball. There's also a few tennis courts. A playground is pretty modern and it's ADA approved. There's a spray area to keep cool in summer. At the entrance is a sculpture by Richard Hunt. The Eagle Columns was inspired by a Vachel Lindsay poem about former Governor Peter Altgeld, who was an early proponent of playgrounds. He actually has a studio across the street from here. The park does have a few homeless but they don't really bother others. Good area. It's close to the Fullerton CTA station. This is located at the intersection of Lincoln, Sheffield, and Wrightwood.

I am now a student of tennis on the lake at jonquil park. But before starting lessons I read every…read moreYelp review looking for details on how to reserve a court and didn't find any! So here's are the details: Nice enough public park. Safe in my experience - there might be a few eccentric folks around but it's always felt safe during the day time. I've never visited the restroom but I've heard tell it's often out of order. The courts at jonquil are hard courts and they do have lights at night. Tennis On the Lake reserves 1 court (of 2) evenings throughout the week and morning/afternoon on the weekend for lessons during the nice weather. Each of the 2 courts has an "even/odd" rack. Hang your racket to reserve the upcoming even or odd hour. So if you arrive at 3:30, hang your racket on even to reserve for 4, and odd to reserve for 5. Tennis on the lake always plays on the west court. Not sure if there are any other coaches that reserve space - I've never seen that nor any other signs. Some people will go in the morning and hang their rack with a note reading "6 PM" this is against the rules and also again court etiquette. Not much we can do about it but if you wonder if you should do that - just don't. It's rude. Also I DO recommend tennis on the lake if you're looking for lessons.

There's not all that much else but it's still okay though. Features include a few athletic fields such as baseball. In the open green space you can play other sports.
