This small playground is located in the East Garfield Park community. The 0.25 acre park features a playground with swings that was renovated in Summer 2014 as part of the Chicago Plays! program. 

While there is no structured programming taking place at this location, we invite you to check out our great programs offered at nearby Augusta Park for recreation.  

Before becoming the Chicago Board of Education, the Trustees of Schools acquired property in 1880 that would eventually become Central Park.  Central Park is one of many small parks created by the Bureau of Parks and Recreation to meet the growing recreational demands of post-World War II Chicago. The Bureau developed this Board of Education-owned site as a playlot. The Board of Education transferred the park to the Park District in 1991, rehabilitating it shortly thereafter.

Central Park takes its name from the adjacent street. Central Park Avenue runs south from the Humboldt neighborhood through Garfield Park and beyond. Garfield Park, created by the West Park Commission in 1869, is the midpoint between Humboldt and Douglas Parks on Chicago's grand boulevard system. Garfield Park was originally known as Central Park, thus giving the street its name.
