The community of Norwood Park encompasses a handful of green spaces and parks, like Oriole Park. Residents enjoy this park because of its thoughtful amenities such as a playground, splash pool, athletic fields and facilities. During the Memorial Day holiday weekend, a large parade is held by the community – a tradition going on 90+ years!
Norwood Park’s historic district is the home of Chicago’s oldest dwelling, the Noble-Seymour-Crippen House. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Edgebrook Golf Course. There’s a diverse selection of restaurants located throughout Norwood Park, and residents are comforted by the accessibility to subway stations and Interstate 90. The Fashion Outlets of Chicago and O’Hare International Airport are both a short distance away.
