🏠 Washington Park Subdivision

The Washington Park Subdivision is the name of the historic 3-city block by 4-city block subdivision in the northwest corner of the Woodlawn community area, on the South Side of Chicago in Illinois that stands in the place of the 19th century Washington Park Race Track. The area evolved as a redevelopment of the land previously occupied by the racetrack and became an exclusively white neighborhood, which included residential housing, amusement parks, and beer gardens.
