Never been here before, ended up there last night for a socially distanced birthday party and I can say in all honesty it became my favorite park in Chicago. Everywhere you looked people were picnicking in pairs or in small groups, mainly adults very few children on our end of the park. Extremely romantic and very Paris-like atmosphere.

Born and raised and have seen it change from a nightmare to what it has became. Safe at times, like any part of Chicago but a great place to just have a walk or do laps. The only thing that would be nice is having the city redo the pavement and get grass placed. Now for pet lovers a dog area would also be nice. Over all the location is peaceful.

Palmer is a nice little park with plenty of shade and many paths to walk around in. It was pretty clean not much trash around. There are lots of families with children enjoying the grass and the center of the park rock thing. No dogs are allowed in the middle. But there is a water fountain with a large dog bowl that is usually always filled with ice. Very nice for any pups who need a break.

Nice park when its dry but in the spring this place is literally a swamp. Bad drainage here in a lot of spots.

Palmer is by far one of the chillest, positive vibe emitting outdoor spaces in Chicago. I love this park so much and recommend it for a picnic and for a nice day laying out in the sun. Also the trail is almost exactly 0.5 miles and softer than concrete which makes it great for running!

I remember when this park was pretty much a no-go zone. It has changed! Now its full of people doing fun things and its really pretty. I was surprised at how nice its become. This is not the Palmer Square area of yore.

A great place to spend an afternoon on a nice day with some friends, go for a run, or frolic around with your dog. Theyve recently installed a few sculptures as well making use of older dying trees. Forewarning, some areas can be pretty muddy, even if it hasnt rained in a few days.

Great place for a run or walk with the dogs. Its super people friendly and there always interesting opportunities for people watching. The park is small, clean, and has tons of greenery. There is a small playground for the little ones as well. Nothing fancy but a great spot to get a bit of outdoors time.

Review №72

I dont know why, but I love this park. Maybe its the location, maybe its the open space, but theres something about this place that is inviting and welcome. Youll find joggers, people walking their dogs, reading books, in a hammock, playing a game... Very friendly spot. Theres a childrens area, and its surround by mostly residential. A nice healthy walk away from Milwaukee Ave & Logan Blvd. Great spot to relax when the weather cooperates.

This large park has areas for kids to play, dogs to run and a trail around it for running. The people are friendly and usually having a picnic or hanging out.The only downside to the park is that us can easily turn muddy with rain and can flood. It is large enough that you can find space that isnt though.I am definitely happy to have this park so close for my dog.

I drive pass Palmer Square on a regular basis when I leave work, and have contemplated a few times to do a run here, after I read a couple reviews. There were a select few that mentioned run in their reviews, so I had to see it firsthand once I got that urge to come out to Palmer Square. However, when that time came to run here, I passed on it because its paths are so narrow plus congested with walkers.As a seasoned runner, I would say that its designed more for that casual runner or walker because there is just not enough room to get into your groove when there are others on it. So, if youre a seasoned runner run there early when its less congested or do yourself a favor and just head on down to the 606 - Bloomingdale trail or either Humboldt Park and just run there versus a run at Palmer Square because both are less congested.I cannot bash Palmer Square because it is beneficial to many others, plus its shaded! As for other activities its perfect for small cookouts, picnics, and a place where you could take your kids and dogs to due to it having mini play areas for both. There is a Divvy bike access at this location too if you need to drop off or pick up a Divvy bike.Enjoy, and I hope this review was helpful.Thomas Gouard

This park is one of my favorites in the city. Elevation changes, heavy foliage, and gravel paths are all elements that make this park beautiful and somewhat different from other city parks. I always enjoy visiting.

Awesome city park with jogging path, lots of trees and a small play area for children. Some of the trees maybe old Native American sign posts as many have large branches that are parallel to the ground. Beautiful and peaceful.

Palmer has a lot of benches and play areas. There is a jogging track and sidewalks. A lot of sun bathers hang out in the summer, and folks reading in the shade under trees. Typically theres enough benches for everyone to hog their own. Also, theres a bunch if tightrope walker practicing there lately.

Palmer Square Park is the nicest park in the neighborhood and features a walking/running track and small playground. Its surrounded by historic homes and a beautiful Catholic Church which adds to the peaceful ambiance. Pack a picnic, grab a blanket and enjoy a relaxing day in the sun in the heart of Logan Square.
