Dunbar Park is a gem in South Loop / Bronzeville. Besides the park and the bbq friendly spaces, it has multiple grass soccer fields, baseball fields, basketball courts, and a huge turf field! It is the main hub for Chicago KICS, a good soccer travel team if you live in the area. There are many of other mini leagues for baseball and other sports, so If you are around, don’t hesitate in checking it out! The night view with the skyline at the back, or the pinky sunsets from here while doing sports is a MUST!!

Big field. Nice get together place. Seemed family friendly. Street parking available, though might take some time to get a free spot. I visited a very short area, but it is actually a big one. In future, the authority can arrange some flower trees in different regions of the park for beautification.

A wonderful facility with plenty of trees, grass and well-maintained sports fields. Dunbar Parkway is the host site for the World Archery Chicago world ranking event and couldn’t have been any better of a venue.

We were actually pretty skeptical when we decided to do a cookout there but we had faith that it will turnout great....and IT DID! There were other groups that came out and setup for their events as well and we all got along just fine.

It's a pretty basic park. Standard, nothing to crazy. It's right behind a high school so there is an outdoor track, but aside from that it's nothing special. The area is mostly quiet though. I head there to work out with a buddy of mine, and it's always peaceful.

Occasionally they play movies on the park as well, so that is definitely a bonus. If you just want to take a little walk, go ahead...
