Indian Boundary Park, Public park and historic district in West Ridge neighborhood, Chicago, United States.
Description
Indian Boundary Park is an urban green space in West Ridge that includes a Tudor-style fieldhouse, tennis courts, a nature play center, a spray pool, and a lagoon where ducks live. The layout brings together different recreational spaces within one location.
History
The park takes its name from an 1816 boundary treaty signed between the Odawa, Ojibwe, and Potawatomi nations and the United States government. This historical connection to Native American land remains embedded in the park's name.
Culture
The fieldhouse contains an auditorium where theater shows, community meetings, art classes, music lessons, and dance programs happen regularly throughout the year. These events connect residents and reflect how the neighborhood uses this space for shared activities.
Practical
The park sits on West Lunt Avenue with free street parking available for visitors. The cultural center operates on different schedules depending on the day, so checking hours before your visit makes sense.
Did you know?
The eastern lawn blends directly with the front yards of neighboring apartment buildings because part of Estes Avenue was closed in the 1960s. This unusual boundary shows how urban planning decisions changed the neighborhood's physical layout.
