Packingtown Playlot Park

Chicago, Illinois

Welcome to Chicago's Packingtown Playlot Park located in the New City community. Federal grants helped the city purchase this property in 1973 but it did not receive it's name until a quarter century later. Packingtown is an old nickname for the New City community due to it's big role in Chicago's meat-packing industry.
