Gloria J. Taylor Park, Harvey, IL

Gloria J. Taylor Park sits at the intersection of 147th Street and Woodbridge Avenue, serving as a central green space in Harvey’s residential core. The park features a 0.6-mile paved walking loop that circles an open lawn and two lighted basketball courts. A fenced playground with modern climbing structures and swings occupies the southwest corner, while a picnic shelter with adjacent grills sits along the north edge. Mature trees line the perimeter, providing shade for the benches placed at regular intervals around the loop. The park is adjacent to the Harvey Public Library branch on the east side, allowing residents to combine park visits with library access. A 0.3-mile segment of the Cal-Sag Trail runs directly behind the park’s western fence, connecting to a larger regional network that extends west toward Palos Heights. Street parking is available along Woodbridge Avenue, and the park is two blocks from the Pace bus stop at 147th and Center, facilitating transit connections to the 147th Street Metra Electric station.
