Brummel Park, Evanston, IL

Brummel Park occupies 7.5 acres at the southwest corner of Brummel Street and Oakton Avenue in southwest Evanston. The park contains a lighted baseball diamond with dugouts, two lighted tennis courts, a basketball court, and a playground equipped with climbing structures and swings. A crushed-stone walking path circles the perimeter, and mature oak and maple trees provide shade along the route. The park sits two blocks west of the Oakton-Skokie Yellow Line station, one mile north of the Edens Expressway, and less than three miles from downtown Evanston’s Metra and CTA stations. Adjacent streets allow on-street parking, and the surrounding blocks consist primarily of single-family homes and small multi-unit buildings. Seasonal city programs schedule youth baseball and tennis lessons on the courts and fields.
