Touhy Park, located in the Rogers Park community of Chicago, is a 6.63-acre park that offers a variety of recreational amenities for visitors to enjoy. With two softball fields, two tennis courts, and two playgrounds, there are plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities. The park also features a small fieldhouse that offers programming for children, including early childhood recreation and nature-based programs like the children's harvest garden. The park advisory council, comprised of local residents, actively participates in maintaining the park and organizing events. Originally acquired by the Chicago Park District in the 1940s and completed in 1954, Touhy Park has a rich history. It was named after Captain Patrick L. Touhy, one of the founders of the Village of Rogers Park, who played a significant role in developing the area. Over the years, the park has undergone additions and improvements, including the conversion of the original comfort station into a fieldhouse and the addition of separate playgrounds for older children and tots. Today, Touhy Park continues to be a beloved community space for residents and visitors alike.Generated from the website
