Known as the “Gateway to the World,” Albany Park is the most ethnically diverse neighborhood in Chicago. From iconic theatre companies to museums, restaurants to parades to community gardens, our neighborhood is vibrant, alive, and growing. Families come here to take root alongside people who’ve lived here for generations. The small business is alive and thriving in Albany Park—and we love that. The story of Albany Park is the real story of America today.
Honoring Henry Horner (1878-1940), Illinois’ first Jewish governor, this park is one of the largest parks on the Northside. It is composed of 55 acres of softball/baseball diamonds, football/soccer fields, basketball and tennis courts, playgrounds and nature areas. Check out the field house for gymnastics, ballet, woodworking, pottery and sign language classes. And don’t miss movies/concerts in the park during the summer.
