Douglass Park, Public park in North Lawndale, Chicago, Illinois.
The 173-acre recreational space contains five playgrounds, an outdoor swimming pool, soccer fields, basketball courts, and an oval running track.
Established in 1869 as South Park, it was renamed in 2020 to honor Frederick Douglass and Anna Murray Douglass, replacing its former namesake Stephen Douglas.
The fieldhouse features two gymnasiums, an auditorium, computer lab, fitness center, kitchen, grand ballroom, and multiple meeting rooms for community activities.
The park offers seasonal sports facilities, dance programs, art classes, performing arts workshops, and theater productions throughout the year for residents.
The Sunshine Daydream Playground, named after a Grateful Dead song, includes an interactive water fountain and music-themed equipment for children of all abilities.
