Butternut Playlot Park

Chicago, Illinois

Welcome to Chicago's Butternut Playlot Park. In an effort to help reduce urban decay and promote urban renewal the City of Chicago first purchased this piece of land in 1958 and opened it up as a public park a year later with a sandbox and a playground. In 1973 the site was named Butternut Playlot Park by a Park District whose committed felt that natural names were the best thing for children's playgrounds. Come on out and fun!
