Normandy Playground Park, Chicago, IL

Normandy Playground Park sits on the western edge of Chicago’s Galewood neighborhood, bordered by Normandy Avenue, North Avenue, and the Union Pacific railroad tracks. The 4.7-acre site contains two lighted baseball diamonds, a football field, two tennis courts, a children’s playground with safety surfacing, and a small picnic grove with tables and grills. A paved walking loop circles the perimeter, providing a flat half-mile route used by residents for daily exercise. The park’s tree canopy includes mature oaks and maples that offer summer shade, while open turf areas remain available for informal sports. Restrooms and a fieldhouse with drinking fountains are located near the North Avenue entrance. The park is two blocks from the Grand Avenue bus line and three blocks from the Metra Milwaukee District/West Line’s Grand/Cicero station, giving commuters direct access to downtown Chicago. Street parking along adjacent residential blocks accommodates overflow visitors during weekend games.
