We love this park! Great for toddlers and young children. I was told by the park district that the water features turn on at 10am but there are some days it comes on earlier, around 8:30am.

South Lakeview Park

This 2/3 acre park is located in the Lakeview neighborhood (one block north of Diversey Parkway, three blocks east of Ashland Avenue). It contains a play slab with four basketball standards, a volleyball court, a water spray feature, and a playground. In 1966, the Chicago Park District agreed to create a new park at the corner of North Lakewood Avenue and West Wolfram Street. Using both city Park Improvement Bond funds and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grant funds, the park district purchased the property two years later. Before long, the new park was equipped with basketball and volleyball courts, playground apparatus, a sand box and a spray pool. In 1969, the park district recognized residents' efforts by naming the site South Lakeview Park. Subsequent improvements include a 1993 playground rehabilitation.
