Dunbar Park, Public park in Douglas, Chicago, Illinois.
The park extends across 20 acres with athletic fields, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, and a dedicated reading garden at 300 East 31st Street.
The Chicago Park District acquired the land from 1958 to 1964, developing the space between 1964 and 1966 during neighborhood revitalization efforts.
A 9-foot bronze statue of Paul Laurence Dunbar, created by Chicago artist Debra Hand in 2014, stands in the park.
The northern playground underwent renovation in 2016, adding new equipment and features for children as part of the Chicago Plays Program.
The park includes an interactive water feature and a batting cage, providing recreational opportunities for Douglas community residents.
