Dunbar Park Artificial Turf and Track Renovation

Dunbar Park Artificial Turf and Track Renovation

Dunbar Park is located in Chicago’s south side Douglas Community. Named after Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906), one of the nation’s first critically-acclaimed African American authors, the park features baseball diamonds, athletic fields, picnic groves, tennis courts, running track, batting cage, playground, interactive water feature, and reading garden. Hitchcock Design Group led a team to renovate the heavily-programmed athletic field and running track at the North end of the park. Improvements include a combination of artificial turf field striped for soccer and football, replacement of the existing polyurethane track surface, improved spectator seating, and landscape improvements.
