For years, its surrounding Chinatown community had suffered a total lack of open space and recreational facilities. The only nearby parks, Hardin Square and Stanford Park had been demolished 30 years earlier to make way for the Dan Ryan Expressway. Two full generations of children in Chinatown grew up without access to a neighborhood park or any recreational area. ## Gallery - **Alt text**: Ping Tom Memorial Park - Banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/transup/1d/9b30bace21456ab32412dfddb1ef97/kfn.png - **Alt text**: Ping Tom Memorial Park - Photo 1 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/transup/03/fbc80493fb4bd9ac906a2d89dd4909/ping_3.jpg - **Alt text**: Ping Tom Memorial Park - Photo 2 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/transup/ab/bd0d6e0cb14d3d839df7cf6d91cd69/ping_1.jpg - **Alt text**: Ping Tom Memorial Park - Photo 3 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/transup/cc/94246f0c00440487d04b98541b5a71/ping_2.jpg ## Activity Tags - **Tags**: Theme Parks, Outdoor, Hangout, Parks & Gardens, Lakes & Rivers, Kids, Family friendly ## Popular Events in Chicago - **Event Name**: 2026 MARQUEE ENTERTAINMENT AND HOSPITALITY CONFERENCE - **Date**: Mon, 22 Jun at 12:00 am - **Location**: Hyatt Regency Schaumburg, Chicago - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/schaumburg/2026-marquee-entertainment-and-hospitality-conference-tickets/80001455278374 - **Event Name**: Rock The Boat Chicago The Biggest All White Yacht Party Juneteenth Weekend - **Date**: Sat, 20 Jun at 12:30 pm - **Location**: Anita Dee II Yacht - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/rock-the-boat-chicago-the-biggest-all-white-yacht-party-juneteenth-weekend-tickets/100001980583984012 - **Event Name**: African/Caribbean International Festival of Life (IFOL) - 33rd Annual. - **Date**: Fri, 03 Jul at 12:00 am - **Location**: Union Park - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/african-caribbean-international-festival-of-life-ifol-33rd-annual-tickets/80001314960352 - **Event Name**: ERAN HERSH (CHICAGO DEBUT) @ UNTOLD STORY IV - A MONOLITH PROJECT - **Date**: Sat, 16 May at 09:00 pm - **Location**: Hideaway - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/eran-hersh-chicago-debut-untold-story-iv-a-monolith-project-tickets/100001988275147489 - **Event Name**: Revolution 250 Celebration in Elmwood Park - **Date**: Tue, 21 Jul at 06:00 pm - **Location**: Parkway Lanes - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/elmwood-park/revolution-250-celebration-in-elmwood-park-tickets/80002066601611 - **Event Name**: Rock The Boat Chicago All White Yacht Party Memorial Day Weekend 2026 - **Date**: Fri, 22 May at 06:45 pm - **Location**: Anita Dee Yacht Charters - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/rock-the-boat-chicago-all-white-yacht-party-memorial-day-weekend-2026-tickets/100001987362856803 ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Product", "name": "Ping Tom Memorial Park", "description": "Ping Tom Memorial Park's 17.44-acre site was originally a Chicago and Western Indiana Railroad yard located along the edge of the South Branch of the Chicago River in the Armour Square Community.
