Built on land acquired in 1947, Gladys Park stands as a testament to Chicago’s commitment to recreation. The park is named for Gladys Gunderson. She was a member of the prominent Gunderson family. The Gundersons were known for their successful real estate firm, S.T. Gunderson & Sons, in the 19th century. Gladys Park isn’t just named after a street. The street itself is a tribute to a family that helped shape Chicago. As you stroll through Gladys Park, imagine the hustle and bustle of a growing city after World War II. This neighborhood park arose from the need for more recreational spaces. The park expanded in 2012 thanks to the Chicago Park District. Today, Gladys Park is a community hub: a place for families to gather and children to play. It serves as a reminder of the city’s dedication to green spaces. Gladys Park embodies the spirit of Chicago’s motto “Urbs in horto” – City in a Garden.
