Kelvyn Park Hermosa Chicago

Covering 10 acres in the Hermosa community of Chicago, Kelvyn Park was designated park land in late 1800’s, and was established as a park in 1914, but it wasn’t until 1928 that the fieldhouse was built by architect Walter W. Ahlschlager. This building remains mostly unchanged from it’s original 1920’s architecture, housing an auditorium upstairs, both ground floor and basement gymnasiums, meeting rooms, and the park office in the immediate entryway.
Today, Chicago residents enjoy our indoor fitness center, basketball courts, game room and large auditorium with a stage, that is also available for rentals.  Outdoors there is expansive fields and mature shade trees, and Chicagoans come for special events such as Movies in the Parks and festivals, as well as the summer spray park and playground.
The Kelvyn Park Advisory Council established by community volunteers, also known as the PAC, advocates for park programs, beautification and fundraising to maintain and improve Kelvyn Park.
