Ridge Park, Chicago, IL

Ridge Park occupies a 22-acre green space in Chicago’s Morgan Park neighborhood, bordered by 96th Street, Wood Street, and the Rock Island District Metra tracks. The park contains two lighted baseball diamonds, six tennis courts, a football field, and a running track used by local schools and adult leagues. A paved walking loop circles the grounds, while the Cal-Sag Trail entrance at the southeast corner connects residents to the regional bicycle network that extends 9.5 miles toward Lemont. Mature oak and maple trees shade picnic groves equipped with grills and tables, and a children’s playground includes age-appropriate climbing structures and swings. The field house provides public restrooms, a gymnasium, and after-school programs coordinated by the Chicago Park District. Street parking is available along the perimeter, and the 103rd Street Metra station is a six-minute walk from the main entrance, offering 30-minute service to downtown Chicago.
