A beautiful, spacious park with something to do for the whole family. The field house has an exercise facility, open gym and swimming pools. There's open swim or you can schedule time to swim with an instructor. The playground was remodeled within the last year, children of all ages can run, climb and swing. On a nice spring/summer day you'll see people from the neighborhood jogging or a dog owner playing catch with his buddy. There's little league baseball games during the week and you don't want to miss the Sunday soccer pick-up games. Don't forget to grab an elotes and flavored ice cup from the many vendors throughout the park.

  • Zakee Goliak

My daughter absolutely loves this park. From the rope swing to the tire swing to trying to climb the rolling pin slide. The age range of activities here is pretty wide. The community presence at this park and facility is strong and embracing. Another huge plus is their staffs professional and caring approach. The one negative would be parking, there is no lot only street parking, and lots of the neighborhood is there at most hours of the day.

  • Alm G

Needs lots of upgrades. Cracked or broken side walks. Side bathrooms by the field are often closed. Even on game days. Field house's locker rooms and bathrooms are filthy locker rooms are ugly and in desperate need of upgrades. Play ground is nice and large but sadly needs to be remodel completely. Overall they have great sports programs and this park is always packed. Needs more benches. And water fountains. It's Dog friendly too.

  • RS

Good place to be at. Workers are very helpful. Establishment is clean and the make it safe. Kids really enjoy it and parents come from all over the city to enroll their children in activities here because of the low cost and the outstanding results the children take home because of the highly qualified trainers. My kids are in gymnastics and boxing here and the change I have seen in them is amazing. Most come and see for yourself.

  • Robert Merz

Beautiful park in the Pilsen neighbor that is well maintained, great for walking as well as areas for baseball, basketball, grassy areas for soccer and football as well as a recreation center. A plus is the Mexican National Art Museum is locate here. After engaging in your favorite physical activity there are some nice places within walking distance to take care of any appetite you may have developed.

  • Esperanza Torres

A place for kids to play have a lot of baseball teams going to play there different activities lot of fun for kids we always need something like that for kids to keep busy without being or doing things they shouldn't be doing so should be something like that everywhere for kids to entertain themselves always so they don't end up in the streets get intimidated bye bad people...

  • Ben Rafter

A little bit on the dangerous side. If you come during the day in a group you should be fine, but I wouldn't recommend going here after dark. But other than that, it has great food and a nice atmosphere for the most part, so it's worth a visit. The area is in the process of being gentrified, so for better or worse the area is getting slowly safer.

  • Vince

Really like this park, i enjoy biking from home there and spectate whatever sports game or event thats happening. Grew up visiting around the area and i always enjoy the park as well as the nearby Museum. It has changed alot over the years, got safer and much more productive, but still has some issues. Still i love that park.

  • Amber Siler

The annual Day of the Dead Festival event offers a beautiful opportunity to experience cultural tradition and community. This year in collaboration with National Museum of Mexican Art, Solorio Academy High School Marching Band performed 'Remember Me' from the motion picture, Coco! #chicagosolidarity

  • Mike Albanese

The reason I come here is for the calisthenics park that overlooks the rest of the park from the corner of 18th and Wood. Nothing comes closein the city of Chicago currently in terms of completeness. Pull Up Park Jam Chicago will be hosted here June 22nd. Come by and catch some good vibes!

  • Ashley Garcia

Great place for the kids to run aroundand have fun. Today, they had the displays for Dia De Los Muertos, and it was lovely.
Playground
Very nice. The park district could do a better job of keeping the playground clean.
Restrooms
They are usually pretty clean and are inside

  • Lesly Carrasco

Its ok. It has a lot of activities for kids like swimming and boxing. The playground is pretty decent. Especially since they remodeled it. There is also a huge field for picnics and another huge field with fake grass! They also have a tennis court and basketball court fit with bars.

  • Maria Madden

This park is very big and in the middle of a bit of construction. My dog had a great time running around. We saw several other dogs as well. The park itself is clean and right across from a school. However there were a few men just lounging around, not sure if they were homeless.

  • Miguel Angel

I have stopped by here plenty of times during the summer and during the winter, it is right next to the museum and some restaurants that I like to visit. On one of the visits we enjoyed the day of the death and many people had their offerings in the park to share with others.

  • Andrew Gonzalez

Nice spot to play when there's space to play. Very cramped, technically a public park but signs say you need to have a permit. Often times there are softball leagues playing who are not so kind about you using the other 75% of the field because 'they have a permit'.

  • V. C. T.

Not the best of the park district parks, but a good neighborhood park. The staff are uniformly nice. The natatorium is geared towards kids and seniors. Adult swim should be offered during weekday nights. The work out equipment is very, very rudimentary.

  • Kaili Emmrich

Great playground with zip line feature and nest-style swing for bigger kids, different play structures for different ages. Dated pool house but lots of great programming and friendly staff/instructors if you can register in time (which is complicated).

  • Daniel Cruz

A great neighborhood park. Fields and courts for basketball, tennis, futsal, soccer, baseball/softball and an indoor pool, as well as a lovely grassy area with trees that's a wonderful place to have a picnic or just sit and enjoy being outside.

  • Loretta Taylor

Peaceful comfortable frequencies feel like a family two parks in one spaces with a cool park district people mind their one business friendly! Outside of Millennium Park this my second best And we visited alotes of park from different community

  • Joel Gonzalez

Actually, I visited the Mexican fine arts museum. If you visit chicago is a must to learn about Mexican heritage. During November it has the "Day of the Dead" exhibition where local residents and artists set up their altars to honor the dead

  • Sandro Perez

Conveniently located on Damen and 18th St. With plenty of good restaurants around as well as street vendors selling fruit...you have multiple paleteros and eloteros nearby as well. Plenty of grass for kids as well as dogs to run around in.

  • Sylvie Hutchings

Went to see a movie at the park. Free usage of the bathroom at the pool but a couple bathrooms were out of orders with a date on the sign of April. My visit was in June. Not sure why the city plumbing crew did not get a chance to fix it.

  • Brett Ashley

Pretty great park for the kids. Lots of playground equipment and stuff to play on. Not a lot of out of the way places for a couple of consenting adults to have a discreet sexual encounter though. Unfortunately for me after a quick walk

  • David Williamson

This is a Beautiful neighborhood park. We enjoy walking through its big open space. Great place to let the kids play and walk the dogs. Excited to see what events are happening in the summer here. Nice place to have a picnic and relax.

  • Jenny Addison

Beautiful park, right beside the Museum of Mexican Art. Great facility with gymnastics gym.and pool. Lots of programs! The play lot is huge and really fun, accommodates LOTS of kids! Great place to stop by when you are in Pilsen.

  • Charles Nelson

Huge park. A big playground, a gymnastics center (this is the best of the CPD's 15 gymnastics centers), and TONS of open space. The National Museum of Mexican Art is also onsite. This is absolutely an anchor of the neighborhood

  • Eric Campos

Very nice park. All in all, there are courts for tennis and basketball, soccer and baseball fields. Playground for children and it is easily accessible being on 18th st. Could use some maintenance but is still a great park!

  • Misty Villafuerte

Lots of activities and events to take part in. Lots of street vendors selling paletas, fresh fruit, and Mexican goodies to snack on, lots if local business surrounding the park. Play ground is big and in good condition

  • John Garcia

Nice park. Indoor pool, gymnasium, tennis courts, indoor and outdoor basketball courts, soccer field, baseball fields, playground. Good luck finding parking near the field house. Ample parking on 18th by ball fields.

  • Gloria Diaz

Harrison Park is a good place for everyone to enjoy with your friends, family and pets. There's a playground, inside pool, area for outdoor/indoor sports and lots of trees and grass for your dogs to enjoy.

  • Chris Johnson

Spacious park with lighted turf field for soccer or various other sports and games. Huge grass field for other activities. Basketball courts are in decent shape but the tennis court is in poor condition.

  • J Burger

Been coming to this park for 10 years. All four seasons it is well used and well cared for. My one wish would be for there to be a dog off leash area carved out since so many residents have dogs.
