Mary Richardson Jones Park occupies a compact block at 600 E. 51st Street in Chicago’s Washington Park neighborhood. The park contains a fenced playground with age-appropriate equipment, two full-size basketball courts with new backboards, and a baseball diamond oriented for afternoon play. A 0.3-mile crushed-stone loop circles the interior, bordered by mature oaks that provide shade in summer. Restrooms and a drinking fountain sit adjacent to the main parking lot, which is shared with the neighboring DuSable Museum of African American History. The park is three blocks south of the Garfield Green Line station and one block west of the 51st Street retail corridor, giving residents quick access to grocery stores, restaurants, and frequent transit without driving.
Mary Richardson Jones Park currently has 1 single family home for sale, 4 townhouses for sale, 120 condos for sale, and 11 lots for sale. For anyone looking for a brand new home, there are 2 new construction homes for sale.
