The Neighborhood Of Fuller Park
|
|---|
Without a doubt, Fuller Park is the tiniest of Chicago’s communities. It reaches only four blocks between the Metra and Conrail tracks, roughly from Stewart to State Streets, between Pershing Road (3900 south) and Garfield Boulevard (5500 south). Thirty years ago, when Lovie Copeland moved there, it was a nice community of frame houses filled with families. Small mom-and-pop shops along its streets hired folks from around the community.
Back then, before construction of the Dan Ryan Expressway (I-90/94), Fuller Park was bigger by about a third. The effects of the expressway’s arrival still linger. Residents here said Fuller Park is among the city's most forgotten communities. Located between Comiskey Park and the Dan Ryan, Fuller Park's location gives residents attractive downtown vistas. Yet this neighborhood of nearly 4,000 residents needs jobs and housing to rebuild, and neither seem readily at hand.
Beautification of vacant lots has been the key improvement. Young people who had left the neighborhood are returning to assume the burden of rebuilding. Among the neighborhood's assets is the Fuller Park fieldhouse, built in 1910. It stands in the green park at the south end of the community. With an auditorium and three gyms, the fieldhouse is host to youth boxing, a Head Start preschool program sponsored by Catholic Charities, and Park Kids, an after-school program that teaches arts and crafts, drama and physical education, as well as remedial tutoring and homework assistance.
