Drexel Playlot Park occupies a compact city block at 51st Street and Drexel Avenue, providing direct access from surrounding residential streets. The park features two full-size basketball courts with lighting, a fenced playground equipped with swings, slides, and climbing structures, and a baseball diamond with backstop and bleachers. A paved walking loop circles the perimeter, while mature trees line the north and south edges, offering shade during summer months. The park is adjacent to the Metra Electric Line’s 51st–53rd Street station, a half-mile from the University of Chicago campus, and within a five-minute drive of Lake Shore Drive. Public restrooms and drinking fountains are available on site. Street parking surrounds the park, and nearby Drexel Boulevard provides a landscaped median for additional pedestrian routes.
Drexel Playlot Park currently has 15 single family homes for sale and 32 lots for sale. There are 2 foreclosures for sale.
