Dougherty Playground Park occupies 4.3 acres at the corner of West 42nd Street and South Richmond Street, two blocks from the CTA’s Western Avenue Orange Line station. The park includes a lighted baseball diamond with synthetic turf infield, two full basketball courts, and a children’s playground with rubberized safety surfacing. A 0.4-mile asphalt loop path circles the perimeter, used daily by runners and dog walkers. Mature oak and maple trees line the northern edge, providing shade over a row of fixed metal picnic tables. Restrooms and a small fieldhouse with drinking fountains operate year-round. The park sits within a ten-minute walk of two grocery stores, a public library branch, and several restaurants along 47th Street, giving residents convenient access to daily errands without relying on a car.
