Mary Bartelme Park

Formerly the site of an old infirmary, this 1.4-acre park in the West Loop community features design elements that combine a sense of history with modern, innovative design elements. Three strong, diagonal paths intersect in this one block park to create distinct, programmed zones.

Nice park nestled in the middle of west loop. My dog loves to run around when we get here early and there aren’t a lot of other people . Good open run space!

This park has one of the best playgrounds in the city ! The age range is from infant (stay with Mommy) to eighth grade and beyond!

Brendan Lynch

Fun playground with just the right amount of other people . (And good coffee and brunch nearby)

A gorgeous park , especially so in the night when it lights up with the city in the background.

A double-gated entry helps keep the pooches in. Fresh water from hoses and fountains provide refreshment in the summer—all set in a very lovely park .

Five stainless steel fountain gates at the northwest entry emit a fine mist of vaporized water for cooling off.

Paw Naturals pet store across the street and great coffee and smoothies around the corner at Maui Wowi.

The park is open. Seriously need to increase the water pressure on the mister. Right now, the mist blows away before it gets to anyone.
