Clarendon Community Center Park

Hosted our son's first birthday here on the 2nd floor (with adjacent kitchen). This place is STUNNING, especially if you knew it prior to renovations. While it's a bit of an analog process (there's no online way to book or pay so you need to go in person), the staff were impressive, the place clean, and they even allow flexibility to arrive/set up the day before. They set everything up, and take everything down/garbage out. We ordered pizza and had apps. Will definitely book again! (note: no alcohol onsite).

Why isnt the water on ????? Its 2021 its the 4th of july weekend . its been racial tension at this park with staff janitors and front desk. Im going report this issue to mayor office with 10 emails and photos to her odfice and to ward Alderman located on Wilson and Broadway

Great plsc ed for a family day hangout, BBQ, and swimming. Free parking on the side of streets across from the park.

On September 1st, 2024, while walking west on Montrose heading home, a red SUV suddenly stopped. A person, a black youth, emerged and demanded my phone, wallet, and backpack at gunpoint. Reacting quickly, I ran, and the individual chased me. Thankfully, the wet grass caused them to slip, prompting them to return to their vehicle without obtaining any of my belongings. This experience has reminded me of the importance of staying aware of my surroundings and being prepared to respond in unexpected situations.

Small, clean park. Close to the Lake Michigan. Not crowded. My Bernie the Doggo likes it and feels good there :)
