Come toast some marshmallows over an open fire and say hi to Santa! Join us at Commercial Park on Saturday, December 20th from 2 p.m. unit 4 p.m. for our annual Santa and S’mores Party. There will be s’mores making, “snowball” fights, storytelling, crafts, a hot chocolate bar, and Santa himself! (Weather permitting on the s’mores, of course- bonfires in the gym are a bad idea.)

Special thanks to Alderman Gilbert Villegas and the Chicago Public Library for their support!

Our annual winter clothing drive is happening now at Commercial Park! Please drop new or gently used coats, snow pants, boots, etc. in the donation box located just inside the second doors of the Commercial Park field house. The field house is open from 9am until 7pm on weekdays; and from 9am until 5pm on Saturday. Thank you!

IT’S HALLOWEEN!!!!!

Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 25th, from 2:00 p.m. until 3:30 for our annual Halloween Party at the Park! Games, crafts, music, and our fabulous trick-or-treat parade around the block. Might even add a haunted house this year….

Hope you can join us!

We are excited to announce the Commercial Park inaugural .5k “race” around the block! (Snappy, fake-trademarked event name TBD). A “race” with our littlest patrons in mind, participants will follow a course around a city block complete with “fueling” stations, and a medal at the end. Stay at the park for a victory lap at our annual Blocktoberfest from 12-4. More details below- please follow this link to register. (Registration not required but highly appreciated!)

CONSTRUCTION IS UNDERWAY!!

As of September 8, 2025, the Commercial Park playground and field will be closed for at least the next two weeks. The basketball court is open (for now) as well as the field house & gym- enter the field house from the parking lot off Wolcott.

Please contact the park office with any questions about classes or programming: (312) 742-7558.

(Also, YAY!!!)
