Spikings Farm Playlot Park occupies a compact 1.5-acre site at the southwest corner of West 51st Street and South Pulaski Road, immediately north of the CTA Orange Line tracks. The park features an irrigated turf field large enough for youth soccer or informal softball, a fenced playground with modern composite equipment installed in 2018, and two lighted basketball courts surfaced with poured-in-place rubber. A 0.3-mile asphalt loop path circles the perimeter, connecting to the adjacent 51st Street bicycle lanes that run uninterrupted to the Burnham Greenway Trail two blocks east. Mature honey-locust trees line the south edge, providing afternoon shade over four fixed picnic tables and a single charcoal grill. The park is within a five-minute walk of the Pulaski Orange Line station and the 51st Street retail corridor, which includes a full-service grocery store and pharmacy. Restroom facilities operate seasonally from April through October, and the field is underdrained to limit standing water after heavy rain.
Spikings Farm Playlot Park currently has 16 single family homes for sale, 1 townhouse for sale, 10 condos for sale, and 1 lot for sale. There is 1 foreclosure for sale. For anyone looking for a brand new home, there are 2 new construction homes for sale.
