Packingtown Playlot Park sits within the Back of the Yards neighborhood, bounded by West 43rd Street and South Justine Street. The 1.4-acre site features a fenced playground equipped with modern climbing structures, slides, and swings, plus an adjacent basketball court with two full-size hoops. A paved walking loop circles the perimeter, providing a flat, 0.3-mile path suitable for jogging or stroller use. Mature trees along the southern edge supply shade for the picnic tables and benches that face the open turf area. The park is one block north of the CTA Orange Line’s 47th Street station and two blocks west of the major retail corridor along South Ashland Avenue, giving residents quick access to groceries, pharmacies, and bus connections. Street parking is permitted on surrounding residential blocks, and the park is lighted until 9 p.m. during daylight-saving months.
Packingtown Playlot Park currently has 5 single family homes for sale and 14 lots for sale. For anyone looking for a brand new home, there are 2 new construction homes for sale.
