Riis Park, Historic district in Belmont-Cragin, Chicago, United States.
The 56-acre green space contains a fieldhouse designed by architect Walter W. Ahlschlager and numerous outdoor recreational facilities for community activities.
The park, developed in 1928 with an initial ski jump and golf course, received its National Register of Historic Places designation in April 1995.
The space honors Jacob Riis, the New York City journalist who documented living conditions of working class residents in urban environments.
Located at 6100 West Fullerton Avenue, the park provides multiple sports fields, walking paths, and spaces for neighborhood gatherings throughout the year.
The original park design incorporated winter sports facilities with a ski jump structure, marking an unusual recreational feature for an urban Chicago park.
