Gladstone (William) Park

Description

Tucked away in the Gladstone community (between Milwaukee Avenue & Northwest Highway and between Central & Austin Avenues) Gladstone Park covers 1.74 acres of land. The park offers a small fieldhouse, a t-ball field and junior soccer field, a new ADA accessible soft-surface playground and spray pool, as well as a small outdoor basketball court.

Gladstone Park is bursting with programs for children! The park offers pre-school, playschool activities, tumbling, mom’s pop’s & tot’s (which involves parent participation), arts & crafts, park club, and play camp activities.

History

Gladstone Park is one of six neighborhood parks created by the Jefferson Park District. Established in 1920, the Jefferson Park District was one of 22 park commissions consolidated into the ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ in 1934. In 1923, the Gladstone Park Community Gladstone Club approached the Jefferson Park District about locating a park in the former Gladstone Park subdivision, named for British Prime Minister William Gladstone (1809-1898). The Jefferson Park District purchased property in 1924 and 1925 for the new park site, and the park was named Gladstone. In 1930, the landscaped park gained a small fieldhouse designed by Clarence Hatzfeld, architect of many Chicago park buildings, including the nearby Jefferson Park fieldhouse.
