Walnut Playground Park sits at 4670 N. Walnut Avenue in Chicago’s Albany Park neighborhood, where a fenced playground with swings, slides, and climbing structures occupies the northwest corner. Two full basketball courts and a baseball field with bleachers sit directly south, bordered by mature maple and ash trees that provide shade for spectators. A half-mile crushed-stone walking loop encircles the park, connecting to the North Shore Channel Trail 400 feet to the east and offering direct access to the riverfront greenway. Restrooms and a fieldhouse with meeting rooms stand along the eastern edge, open daily until 9 p.m. Street parking lines the surrounding residential blocks, and the Kimball Brown Line station is three blocks west, placing downtown within a 25-minute commute. Seasonal farmers markets operate on Saturdays adjacent to the fieldhouse, drawing local vendors and residents to the park grounds.
Walnut Playground Park currently has 6 single family homes for sale, 1 condo for sale, and 8 lots for sale. There is 1 foreclosure for sale.
