Gladys Playlot Park occupies a compact block in Chicago’s West Town neighborhood, bounded by Gladys Street, Damen Avenue, and Hoyne Avenue. The park’s main features include a fenced playground with swings, climbing structures, and a rubberized surface, plus a full-size basketball court and separate half-court. A walking path circles the perimeter, and several mature trees provide shade over benches and picnic tables. The park is directly adjacent to the 606 Trail access point at Damen, allowing residents to reach the 2.7-mile elevated trail for running or cycling without crossing major streets. Street parking is available along Gladys, and the CTA Blue Line’s Western station is three blocks north. The surrounding streets are lined with two- and three-flat buildings and single-family homes, giving the park a residential setting rather than a commercial one.
Gladys Playlot Park currently has 2 single family homes for sale, 4 townhouses for sale, 5 condos for sale, and 11 lots for sale. There are 2 foreclosures for sale. For anyone looking for a brand new home, there are 6 new construction homes for sale.
