Chopin Park

The park stretches from Roscoe Street on the south to Cornelia Avenue to the north between Linder and Long avenues.

The historic fieldhouse was designed by Albert A. Schwartz and contains an assembly hall with a stage and seven rooms, where many preschool and music classes take place.

Portage Park has the largest Polish community in the Chicago Metropolitan Area according to the 2000 census.

The area is the center of one of Chicago's "Polish Patches", Władysławowo, and the park is right across the street from St. Ladislaus Roman Catholic Church.

There are also plans to erect, along Chicago's lakefront, a full-scale replica of Wacław Szymanowski's Chopin Statue in Warsaw's Royal Baths Park.
