Dearborn Park

Dearborn Park is a residential Chicago neighborhood in South Loop. It is part of the Loop and Near South Side community areas of Chicago, and has a public park of the same name. The area is known for its unique architecture, green spaces, proximity to the city's downtown area, and many cultural and recreational attractions. Early in Chicago history, this became an immigrant neighborhood before being ravaged by a fire in 1874; it was then bought up for railroad rights-of-way leading to Dearborn Station. When several rail-lines ceased service in the early 1970s, the trackage yards were removed and the area was redeveloped.

The Dearborn Park neighborhood comprises two distinct sub-areas: Dearborn Park I and Dearborn Park II. The former is in the Loop community area and is bounded by State Street to the east, Clark Street to the west, Polk Street to the north and Roosevelt Road to the south. The latter, located in the Near South Side community area, is directly south of Dearborn Park I, sharing the same east and west borders and bounded north by Roosevelt Road and south by 15th Street.
