Bertha Honore Palmer Park occupies 220 acres along the North Branch of the Chicago River in the Old Irving Park neighborhood. The park includes 2.3 miles of paved multi-use trails that connect to the North Branch Trail system, allowing residents to bike or walk north to the Skokie Lagoons or south toward the lakefront. A 25-acre nature area contains restored prairie and wetland habitat that supports over 150 bird species, and the park district maintains a small fishing pier on the river. Two playgrounds, one with accessible equipment, a lighted baseball field, and six tennis courts serve active households. The fieldhouse offers year-round programming through the Chicago Park District, including fitness classes and senior activities. Metra’s Union Pacific Northwest Line stops at Irving Park Road two blocks from the park entrance, and the Kennedy Expressway lies three minutes west by car, placing downtown within a 20-minute commute during off-peak hours.
