Description
Named for Olympic athlete and politician Ralph Metcalfe, the 6.73-acre park was created in the early 1980s, converting a former dump site into neighborhood recreation space. The grounds are outfitted with a softball field, basketball courts, and tennis courts, as well as a playground renovated in 2016 under the Chicago Plays! Program. Beyond sports, the park is regularly utilized by the community to host family reunions.
