Jazzy Lady

Great park where they hold lots of venues. Its a really nice sized park where there could be a festival or concert going on on one side and people could be picnicking on the other. I haven't been inside the field house so I don't know much about it as I have spent all of my time outside on the grounds here which are beautiful and spacious.

Amanda Ray

Very nice place to take the children! Usually very clean and friendly people!!

Ralph Hickman

It is a pretty great neighborhood park. It has two softball fields, a community pool, two tennis courts, and two horseshoe pits. The park is kept clean and well maintained. There is something going on here every night in the summer. The softball fields have lighting for night games. There is a paved path around the perimeter of the park which is nice for walking/running. I wish this park had a dog park. The park is friendly to dogs. #park #chicago #nearwestside

Jo Brill

OMG the March for Our Lives on March 24, 2018. These kids are amazing. The program was absolutely outstanding -- speakers and performers are listed on the March for our lives Chicago facebook page. I was in tears at least half the time. And the park was set up perfectly for this special event. Big TVs, and porta potties even!

Leslie Rogel

Wish it had a nature walk or pond. Other than that, it is a good place to take the kids. There's a playground, field house, basketball court, tennis court baseball field. Enough to keep kids active.

g k

A green space is not only the city's lungs. From Pitch Fork to the annual Immigrants' Rights march to the March for Our Lives, it's a civic space or one of the hearts of the city.

Ameen Syed

I've only been here for events, and they've all been pretty cool.

hss h

Easily accessible off the cta train and bus route. Plenty of free street parking nearby. Close to lots of music venues and restaurants. There is a basketball court and baseball field. There is an outdoor pool for use during warm months. Large park.

Have only really been for Pitch Fork and North Coast (Music Festivals). I believe the Pitch Fork team does a good job. North Coast doesn't seem to be run as well.

Deborah G

The landscape could use a serious upgrade

John Parker

Pretty nice park wedged between two busy streets. More for sports than a quiet stroll. Has tennis and basketball courts, gym and pool, and baseball diamonds. Some garbage scattered about but not too bad. Has a great jungle gym for kids

Aaron Edwards

Amazing park for a music festival.

Jason Miller

Nice park

DORELL WILLIS

Passing through on my bike

Evan M

Awesome facility. Outdated here and there (ahem the bathrooms) but so much history and such a needed resource in the ever-bustling NWS.

Lisa Ferry

We had a good time here. I've never been before. But we hosted an N/A picnic, which turned out great! Not just in number wise, but as far as everything else as well!. Only if there hadn't been any rain at all that day!!! But we sure did make it work!!!. I'd recommend for big get to gathers and such!

Otis G

Very big park in a great location that is great for community gatherings. It can use some upgrades to the baseball fields, playgrounds, and swimming pool. It is easy to get to because it's on a major street artery, and it is right under the Ashland stop for the Green/Pink Line. It could use one more basketball court, and some more upkeep when it comes to concerts and festivals. Parking is very scarce over here so please be patient or take public transportation.

Valerio Cerron

Great location for concerts, close to the green line and minutes from downtown.

Emma Taylor

It's a great park to visit

theprusmusic

I'm really only ever here for Pitchfork or Northcoast music festivals, but it works great for that! Thank you locals for allowing us musicians/festies to take over your space for a couple of weekends!

I go to Union Park once a year for the Pitchfork Festival, to watch music and get some sun. I haven't been to the park any time after the festival, but from what I can tell it seems like a pretty swell park. Perfect for baseball games, picnics, and make out sessions.

Chauncey DatGuy

Grew up near here. Its ok
