Kensington Playground Park, located at 3855 N. Kennicott Avenue in Chicago’s Northfield neighborhood, covers 2.3 acres and serves as a central recreational space for surrounding residents. The park features a fully accessible playground with rubberized surfacing, two full-size basketball courts, and a baseball diamond with lighting for evening games. A 0.4-mile paved walking loop circles the park’s perimeter, bordered by mature oak and maple trees that provide consistent shade. Restroom facilities, drinking fountains, and benches are positioned along the loop for regular use. The park is directly adjacent to the Northfield Branch Library and sits three blocks from the Metra North Line station, offering a direct connection to downtown Chicago. Street parking surrounds the park, and the adjacent commercial corridor along Waukegan Road supplies grocery stores, pharmacies, and restaurants within a five-minute walk.
