It’s a great place to live and play. The park’s origin dates all the way back to the 1920s, when the North Austin Manor Neighborhood Club purchased the property and then started developing a playground. The park was then later purchased by the Northwest Park District. After the Chicago Park District took over in 1934, they added basketball courts and a volleyball court. Galewood Park is now a thriving part of the community. It’s a place where people come to relax, play, and connect with one another. It’s a place that’s full of life and energy.
