Ginkgo Playlot Park occupies a compact block in Chicago’s Avondale neighborhood, bounded by West Henderson Street, North Sawyer Avenue, West Byron Street, and North Spaulding Avenue. The park’s namesake ginkgo trees line the perimeter, providing seasonal shade and a distinct canopy over the playground equipment. A rubberized play area includes climbing structures, swings, and a slide, while an adjacent open lawn accommodates informal sports and picnics. A short walking loop circles the interior, connecting directly to sidewalks that continue into the surrounding residential blocks. The park sits within three blocks of the Belmont Blue Line station and the retail corridor along Belmont Avenue, allowing residents to reach transit and daily errands on foot. Street parking is permitted along all bordering streets, and the park is illuminated at night by standard municipal fixtures.
Ginkgo Playlot Park currently has 6 single family homes for sale, 2 townhouses for sale, and 17 lots for sale. There are 3 foreclosures for sale. For anyone looking for a brand new home, there are 8 new construction homes for sale.
