Overview
Recreational facilities at the park include an artificial turf soccer field, a junior soccer field, baseball fields, tennis courts and a replica of the Chicago Cubs stadium known as “Little Cubs Field.” The park is home to several playgrounds that were recently renovated as part of Mayor Emanuel’s Chicago Plays! Program.
With the support of the community, Puerto Rican leaders in Chicago began leasing the historic Humboldt Park stables near Paseo Boricua. This landmark location now houses The National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture. It is the only museum in the nation that is completely dedicated to the history of Puerto Rican arts and culture.
The Humboldt Park Natural Area is 28.6 acres of woodland, wetland, prairie, savanna and lagoon habitats within Humboldt Park. Explore along the paved trail system or around the wetland areas.
