Sumner Park occupies a 5.8-acre block at the corner of West 47th Street and South Princeton Avenue in the Canaryville neighborhood. A paved walking loop circles the park, while two softball diamonds, a basketball court, and a playground with rubberized surfacing occupy the central grounds. The park’s mature trees provide shade along the perimeter fence, and a small picnic grove sits near the field house. Chicago Transit Authority bus routes 47 and 44 stop directly at the park’s edge, connecting residents to the Red Line’s 47th Street station in four minutes and to downtown in under 20. The park is open daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., with lighted athletic fields available for evening use. Nearby retail strips along Halsted Street supply groceries, pharmacies, and restaurants within a five-minute walk.
Sumner Park currently has 9 single family homes for sale, 1 condo for sale, and 18 lots for sale. There are 2 foreclosures for sale.
