Hurley Playlot Park

Welcome to Chicago's Hurley Playlot Park located in the Beverly Community. This urban playground was first established in the 1920's and many of it's amenities were designed by the local architectual firm Hetherington & Son. For years this park was known as 100th Street Park or Park 178 before it was named Shamrock Park in 1973. In 1984 the City of Chicago decided to rename the park in honor of Father Timothy Hurley, an Irish immigrant who came to the United States and was ordained in Baltimore, Maryland before moving to Chicago and founding St. Barnabas Catholic Church. Hurley was rector of this church from the day he founded it in 1924 until the day he passed away in 1946. Today this park offers a soft surface playground for the kids. Come out and have fun!
