Dunbar Park (Chicago) Explained

Dunbar Park is a park located at 300 East 31st Street in the Douglas community of South Side, Chicago, Illinois.[1] The 20acres site was acquired in 1962, and transformed into Dunbar Park between 1964 and 1966.[1] The park was named for poet Paul Laurence Dunbar.[1]
