Sherwood Park occupies a 10-acre site at 219 West 79th Street in Chicago’s Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood. The park’s main feature is an elevated, rubberized running track that circles a lighted baseball diamond and two full basketball courts. A field house contains restrooms, a gymnasium, and a multipurpose room used for after-school programs. East of the track, a fenced playground with poured-in-place surfacing sits next to a spray feature that operates from Memorial Day through Labor Day. A planted berm along the southern edge buffers the park from 79th Street traffic, and rows of mature maples provide shade over the walking paths that connect each facility. The park is served by the CTA’s 79th Street bus route and lies three blocks west of the Red Line’s 79th Street station, giving residents direct access to downtown and the lakefront. Adjacent blocks contain schools, a public library branch, and several grocery stores, allowing errands to be completed on foot or by bicycle.
Sherwood Park currently has 6 single family homes for sale, 1 condo for sale, and 26 lots for sale. There are 2 foreclosures for sale, and 1 short sale.
