Cornell Park
Chicago, Illinois
Welcome to Chicago's Cornell Park located in the Hyde Park Neighborhood. This park was first formed in the 1960's under local concern over the threat of urban development to this small urban greenspace. The park is named for Paul Cornell, the lawyer who helped found the Hyde Park Community and served on the board of the South Park Commission for a decade and a half. Cornell was a cousin of Ezra Cornell, the man who founded the elite Ivy League School Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Today Cornell Park boasts a playground for the kids and a sprayground for hot summer days. Come out and have fun!
