Jackie Robinson Park

Chicago, Illinois

Welcome to Chicago's Jackie Robinson Park. Originally named for President George Washington's hometown of Mount Vernon, the City of Chicago first purchased the land for this park in the 1940's and 1950's. In 1999 the City decided to rename the park after the first African American to play major league baseball, Jackie Robinson of the 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers. Interestingly enough this park does have a baseball field. Come on out and have fun.
