Vittum (Harriet Elizabeth) Park

Acquired during Chicago's post-World War II park expansion, the grounds take their name from Harriet Elizabeth Vittum, a settlement house leader who pioneered community nutrition clinics and youth camps. Scheduled recreation includes table games, after-school programs, and a six-week summer day camp, alongside seasonal sports and family holiday gatherings. Outside, dedicated spaces for baseball, basketball, soccer, and football neighbor Frank Baum Elementary School, which was built on land carved from the park in 1961.
