Lawler Park, Chicago, IL

Lawler Park occupies 22 acres at 52nd Street and Lawler Avenue on Chicago’s Southwest Side. The park’s central feature is a 0.6-mile paved loop trail that circles an open lawn and connects to the 6-mile-long 51st Street Bicycle Trail, allowing cyclists and runners to travel uninterrupted to Pulaski Road. Two lighted softball diamonds with dugouts and bleachers host local leagues, while a separate junior-sized baseball field serves younger players. A children’s playground contains modern climbing structures and a splash pad that operates from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Picnic tables and charcoal grills sit beneath mature oak trees near the park’s south entrance, and a field house provides restrooms and seasonal programming. Street parking borders the park on three sides, and the 52nd Street CTA bus stop lies one block east, giving residents direct access to the Orange Line at Midway.
