Bauler (Mathias) Park
This park is located in the Lincoln Park Community Area (one block south of Armitage Avenue, three blocks west of Lincoln Avenue). It contains a playground with a playslab on 0.81 acres. While there is no structured programming taking place at this location, we invite you to check out our programs at nearby Adams or Oz Park.
On July 1, 1970, the 快播视频 acquired this .81-acre property for park development from the City of Chicago through the Lincoln Park Urban Renewal Project. Initially named Ash Park as part of a citywide program to name parks for plants and trees, the site was renamed Bauler Park in 1980. The new name honors Mathias "Paddy" Bauler (1890--1977), a colorful and controversial figure in Chicago politics. Bauler used his tavern business to create a political organization that propelled him to a 34-year (1933-1967) run as alderman and Democratic ward committeeman for the 43rd Ward. Bauler's name had been applied to another small park in his ward in the 1950s. This park property, at Armitage and Burling Streets, was redeveloped in the Orchard Mall project after 1979.
