Logan Square park anchored by a Velveteen Rabbit-themed playground and a running track, ringed by grand historic boulevard mansions. 📍 2200 N Kedzie Blvd, Chicago, IL 60647, USA · ⭐ 4.7 (987 reviews)
This seven-acre park in Logan Square is anchored by a Velveteen Rabbit-themed playground, a detail almost nobody outside the neighborhood knows about, plus a wide running track that circles the entire green space. It's set among some of Logan Square's grandest historic boulevard homes, so a lap around the park doubles as an architecture walk past turn-of-the-century mansions. Locals treat it as a genuine neighborhood hub: dog walkers in the morning, joggers on the track, families at the playground in the afternoon. It's a short walk from Logan Square's well-known restaurant and bar strip along Milwaukee Avenue, making this an easy add-on to a longer evening out rather than a destination on its own. If your Chicago quest list is heavy on downtown landmarks, this is the neighborhood-park counterbalance worth seeking out.
