Lazarus Playlot Park sits at 1207 West 48th Street in Chicago’s Back of the Yards neighborhood. The 1.5-acre site features a lighted baseball diamond, two full basketball courts, a junior-size football field, and a playground equipped with modern climbing structures and swings. A perimeter walking loop of approximately one-third mile is surfaced in decomposed granite and connects directly to the 48th Street bike lane, allowing residents to reach the lakefront via the Major Taylor Trail in under twenty minutes by bicycle. Mature oak and maple trees line the east edge, providing shade for picnics at the six fixed grills and adjacent tables. Restrooms and a small fieldhouse are open year-round, and the Park District schedules organized youth baseball and basketball leagues on weekday evenings. Street parking is permitted on adjoining residential blocks, and the #47 bus stops at the park entrance every twelve minutes during peak hours.
Lazarus Playlot Park currently has 28 condos for sale.
