Palmer Park, National Register listed park in South Side, Chicago, United States.
The 40.5-acre Palmer Park features outdoor sports fields, an aquatic center, tennis courts, and a fieldhouse with indoor recreational facilities.
Established in 1904 by the South Park Commission, Palmer Park was designed by D.H. Burnham and Co. and Olmsted Brothers landscape architects.
Three murals by James McBurney, depicting Native Americans, Explorers, and Dutch Settlers, decorate the park as part of a Works Progress Administration project.
The park facility at 201 East 111th Street includes baseball fields, an indoor gymnasium, meeting rooms, and an outdoor swimming pool.
The park bears the name of Potter Palmer, who transformed Chicago's swampland into the Lake Shore Drive area and built the original Cubs baseball field.
