Kosciuszko Park (Chicago)

Kosciuszko Park is a 9.01-acre (3.65 ha) public park at 2732 North Avers Avenue in Logan Square on Chicago's Northwest Side. Its northern boundary meets Diversey Avenue, and its western boundary is one block east of Pulaski Road. Operated by the Chicago Park District, the park includes a fieldhouse, an indoor pool, athletic fields and courts, and an accessible playground. The Northwest Park District acquired and named the site in 1914, and the park was formally dedicated in 1916. Its Tudor Revival fieldhouse, designed by Albert A. Schwartz and completed under Frederick W. Bowes, is the principal surviving feature of the original design. The fieldhouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 16, 2013, for its local significance in architecture, recreation, and social history. From its opening, the fieldhouse served as an athletic, educational, and cultural center. It housed a branch of the Chicago Public Library and one of Chicago's earliest Polish-language schools, and later provided language and citizenship classes to immigrants. Although the park itself is in Logan Square, it also gave its name to a neighborhood extending into Avondale.
