Mary Bartelme Park aka Adams Sangamon Park

Park 542 occupies the site of a former infirmary and combines a sense of history with modern, innovative design elements. Park amenities include a fountain plaza, a children's play area, a dog park, an open lawn area, a viewing hill, and an enclosed seating area with native landscaping.

The large destination playground on the northeast is ADA accessible, and allows for inventive, non-linear play without traditional playground equipment. The viewing hill mounds up 6' and provides a stunning view of the entire park with a backdrop of the Chicago skyline. All the storm water on site is captured by the main permeable paved paths and stored on site.

To the south, the sunken dog park, complete with a continuously filling, oversized dog bowl, has ramps, ledges, steps, and artificial canine grass to provide an exercise area. The enclosed seating area flanking the southwest corner provides a contemplative space for the community, alongside the park's largest planter
