Hazelnut Park sits at the corner of West 61st Street and South Hamlin Boulevard in Chicago’s West Lawn neighborhood. The 7.5-acre site features two lighted baseball diamonds, two basketball courts, a playground with modern equipment, and a walking loop that circles a central lawn. A small picnic grove with permanent tables and grills sits near the playground, while a fenced dog run occupies the southeast corner. The park is bordered on the east by the 1.25-mile recreational trail that parallels the CTA Orange Line, giving residents a direct off-street route to the Midway Plaisance and the University of Chicago campus. Street parking is available on three sides, and the 62nd Street bus stops at the park’s main entrance. Mature honey-locust and maple trees provide shade over the benches and open lawn, and the grounds are maintained year-round by the Chicago Park District.
