Nichols Park covers 4.6 acres in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood at 55th Street and University Avenue. A paved loop path circles the park, providing a flat, measured course for walking, jogging, and cycling. The park includes two tennis courts with night lighting, a playground with age-appropriate equipment, and a spray feature that operates seasonally. Open turf areas accommodate informal sports, while mature oak and maple trees supply shade along the paths. The park sits one block from the 55th-56th-57th Street Metra station, allowing residents to reach downtown Chicago in under 15 minutes. The University of Chicago campus lies directly east, and Lake Michigan’s shoreline is reachable by a 12-minute walk or a short bicycle ride along 55th Street. Street parking is available on surrounding residential blocks, and the park is served by CTA bus routes 55 and 171.
Nichols Park currently has 10 single family homes for sale, 6 townhouses for sale, 54 condos for sale, and 1 lot for sale. There is 1 foreclosure for sale.
