Taylor-Lauridsen Playground Park, located in Chicago’s Back of the Yards neighborhood, offers 5.5 acres of active recreation space. The park includes two baseball diamonds with backstops, a full-size football field, lighted basketball courts, and a playground with modern safety surfacing. A 0.4-mile paved loop path circles the perimeter, connecting to the 26th Street and Loomis Street sidewalks for pedestrian access. Restrooms, drinking fountains, and picnic tables are clustered near the main entrance on West 45th Street. The park is adjacent to the Chicago Public Library’s Back of the Yards Branch and less than two blocks from the CTA’s 47th Street Red Line station, providing direct transit links to downtown and the lakefront. Mature trees line the north and east edges, offering partial shade along the walking path during summer months.
