McKeon Playlot Park, Chicago, IL

McKeon Playlot Park at 2701 W. 52nd Street occupies a full city block in Chicago’s Gage Park neighborhood. The park features an outdoor swimming pool, two tennis courts, and a softball field equipped with lighting for evening games. A children’s playground with modern safety surfacing sits adjacent to an open turf area used for informal sports and picnics. Two half-basketball courts and a walking path encircle the perimeter, giving residents a measured 0.3-mile loop for daily exercise. The facility is bordered by mature shade trees and maintained lawns, creating a cooler microclimate during summer months. Restrooms and drinking fountains are located in a central building that is staffed during operating hours.
