If we don't feel like going downtown to play we'll most likely be at this park. It's convenient for almost everybody to get to on short notice.

The park added this gazebo several years ago. It's a perfect place to shred day or night.

There are tennis courts on the south side along Montrose that are lit up at night and an open cemented area next to them where we usually play 4 square.

One of the great things about playing here, as opposed to playing downtown, is that it's never too crowded and you have so much more space to move around in. We can toss around a frisbee (even play Ultimate) play net/takraw and power hack without worring about hitting anyone or losing something into the lake.

The park is 2 blocks south of the Western stop on the Brown/Ravenswood line. Once you exit the station on Western ave, make a left to walk straight south. One of the first things you'll see is a 7/11 on Western and Eastwood. Next intersecting street will be Wilson ave (stoplight). Then it will be one long block to Sunnyside ave and the park will be on your left.
