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**: Ghayal by Pranit More - Chicago - **Date**: Sat, 21 Nov at 07:00 pm - **Location**: Yellow Box - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/naperville/ghayal-by-pranit-more-chicago-tickets/80001861211508 - **Event Name**: Just Announced - Chicago - Top Shelf Tequila and Whiskey Tasting Festival - September 26 AE - **Date**: Sat, 26 Sep at 02:30 pm - **Location**: Kings Dining & Entertainment - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/just-announced-chicago-top-shelf-tequila-and-whiskey-tasting-festival-september-26-ae-tickets/80006975145116 - **Event Name**: Sober October: Chicago Zero Proof Halloween Bar Crawl - **Date**: Sat, 10 Oct at 04:00 pm - **Location**: Chicago - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/sober-october-chicago-zero-proof-halloween-bar-crawl-tickets/80003820426335 - **Event Name**: Ultimate Taco & Tequila - **Date**: Sat, 03 Oct at 05:00 pm - **Location**: House Party! - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/ultimate-taco-and-tequila-tickets/80002491650199 - **Event Name**: Dia de los Muertos - **Date**: Thu, 22 Oct at 06:30 pm - **Location**: Cafe Con Leche - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/dia-de-los-muertos-tickets/80001654129583 - **Event Name**: Public Speaking Skills 1-Day Workshop | Chicago, IL - **Date**: Fri, 09 Oct - **Location**: Chicago - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/public-speaking-skills-1-day-workshop-chicago-il-tickets/80002398720807 ## 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.
