Explore Douglas Park

A concentration of residential blocks surrounding one of Chicago's largest parks, Douglas Park is a west side neighborhood tucked within the larger community of Lawndale. Named for the central focus of the area, this little region has its priorities straight: acres of parkland and open green expanses. More than just a slab of grass, Douglas Park's namesake park is home to a Cultural and Community Center that boasts all the intramural, recreational fun you can handle. The outdoor pool, volleyball and tennis courts, miniature golf course, sandboxes, and spray pools are always hot in the summer. But the wintertime is no exception to the community center's popularity as the lake freezes over and makes for a picture perfect ice skating rink. Packed with families from the neighborhood and surrounding areas, the center's outside features make this the ultimate Chicago playground. Inside, the center is also bustling with Douglas Park residents fond of arts and crafts, dance classes and music lessons.
