Chicago Park District fieldhouses serve as hubs for cultural and recreational programming and community events. More than 240 fieldhouses are located throughout the city and range from ornate, historic buildings to modern athletic centers. Many older fieldhouses are currently being renovated as part of the “Save Chicago’s Treasures” initiative.
Fieldhouses vary in size and amenities, offering facilities ranging from gymnasiums and meeting rooms to auditoriums, ballrooms, fitness centers, rooftop terraces and more. Many of these spaces are available for rent for birthday parties or other small community events, while some of our larger buildings can serve as gorgeous and unique locations for special occasions such as weddings.
Each manned fieldhouse includes Chicago Park District staff who can assist you with registering for programs or securing rental space for an event.
