Barrett Park, Chicago, IL

Barrett Park occupies a compact block in Chicago’s Roseland neighborhood, bounded by 111th Street, Eggleston Avenue, 112th Street, and Normal Avenue. The park’s primary feature is a full-size baseball diamond with bleachers and dugouts that host youth leagues and adult weekend games. A children’s playground with modern equipment sits adjacent to the diamond, while a basketball court and a smaller soccer field occupy the southwest corner. Two lighted tennis courts along Eggleston Avenue remain open until 10 p.m. A 0.3-mile asphalt loop circles the park, used by residents for walking and jogging. Mature trees line the perimeter, providing shade on summer afternoons. The park is served by several CTA bus routes on 111th Street and is three blocks from the Roseland branch of the Chicago Public Library and a neighborhood grocery store, giving residents convenient access to daily needs without leaving the immediate area.
