Avondale Park (Chicago)

The park stretches between School Street to the south to the Kennedy Expressway to the north and east, with the alley behind Drake Street to the West.

The park has recreational facilities including a playground, a fieldhouse, as well as an outdoor pool.

That year an attractive brick fieldhouse designed by Clarence Hatzfeld was built, and lawn, shrubbery, trees, and flowers soon graced Avondale Park's landscape.

By the early 1930s, the park included a playfield, separate boys' and girls' playgrounds, a wading pool, a sand box, and tennis courts.

In 1959 the park's size was greatly reduced to just over 1 acre, when its entire northeast portion was destroyed to build the Kennedy Expressway.
