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**: Foliage Fest 2026 - **Date**: Sat, 12 Sep at 11:00 am - **Location**: Ted's Greenhouse - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/tinley-park/foliage-fest-2026-tickets/80001800027324 - **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**: Safarnama: An Evening with Suresh Wadkar - **Date**: Fri, 24 Jul at 06:00 pm - **Location**: Cutting Hall Performing Arts Center - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/palatine/safarnama-an-evening-with-suresh-wadkar-tickets/80002090258379 - **Event Name**: WNBA All Star Lesbian Hoop Her Weekend - **Date**: Fri, 24 Jul at 04:00 pm - **Location**: Multiple Venues in Chicago - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/wnba-all-star-lesbian-hoop-her-weekend-tickets/100001989131877993 - **Event Name**: Trending - 2026 Chicago Summer Tequila Tasting Festival (July 25) AE - **Date**: Sat, 25 Jul at 02:30 pm - **Location**: The Boss Bar - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/trending-2026-chicago-summer-tequila-tasting-festival-july-25-ae-tickets/80003582318110 - **Event Name**: Best Deal - Chicago - Summer Whiskey Tasting Festival - August 22 AE - **Date**: Sat, 22 Aug at 02:30 pm - **Location**: Kings Dining & Entertainment - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/best-deal-chicago-summer-whiskey-tasting-festival-august-22-ae-tickets/80009722205721 ## 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.
