Memorial Playlot Park, located in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood, provides residents with a compact 1.3-acre green space at the intersection of Clarendon Avenue and Montrose Avenue. The park features a playground with modern play structures, a full basketball court, and open turf suitable for informal sports and picnics. A paved walking loop encircles the grounds, offering a flat, measured route for daily exercise. Mature trees along the perimeter supply shade, while benches placed around the edges allow for supervised oversight of children. The park sits within two blocks of the Clarendon Park Cultural Center, which houses indoor fitness classes, and is adjacent to the lakefront bike path that extends north to Montrose Beach and south toward downtown Chicago. Public transit access includes the nearby Wilson CTA Red Line station and several bus routes on Montrose Avenue, connecting park users to groceries, schools, and medical facilities within a short walk.
Memorial Playlot Park currently has 12 single family homes for sale, 1 townhouse for sale, and 17 lots for sale. There are 3 foreclosures for sale.
