Mann Park

Park Features

Spanning nearly 19 acres, Mann Park offers a little something for everyone in this corner of Chicago. The indoor facilities include two gymnasiums and a swimming pool that stays open year-round - great for those Chicago winters when you're desperate for a splash.

One of the park's secluded areas is its Harvest Garden, a green sanctuary amidst the urban landscape. Sports enthusiasts will feel right at home with seven ball fields, tennis courts, and even a roller hockey court for those looking to channel their inner athlete.

Family Amenities

Got kids? You'll appreciate the playground where the little ones can burn off energy, and during hot summer days, the spray pool becomes the neighborhood's favorite cooling spot. Need space for your next family gathering? The park's pavilion is available for rent, giving you a dedicated area for celebrations and get-togethers.

Programs and Activities

The community spirit really shines through Mann Park's diverse programming. From seasonal sports to woodshop classes, fitness programs to aquatics, there's always something happening here. The park also thoughtfully includes specialized programs for those with special needs.

When school's out, the park's six-week day camp becomes a summer highlight for local youth.

History

There's a bit of Chicago history here too. What locals now know as Mann Park was originally called Hegewisch Park. In 1922, it was renamed to honor James R. Mann, who served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1897 until his death that same year.
