Escape to nature in the northern Windy City
As a neighborhood with abundant parkland on the north side of Chicago, it’s no wonder how North Park got its name. The community is home to nature lovers who like to live in the city and draws residents with its expansive metropolitan parks like the North Park Village Nature Center. Realtor Debbie Arcabascio of Baird & Warner Edgebrook is a longtime resident of the neighborhood for precisely that reason: “It’s like living in the forest,” she says. “All kinds of wildlife come by my window every day — deer, baby ducks. I’ve seen a baby fawn take its first steps off my balcony.”
The North Park birding community welcomes new and old friends a like to join the yearly walk.

North Park Village Nature Center
“The North Park Village Nature Center is one of the biggest draws to the area,” Arcabascio says. “It’s amazing. It’s a huge nature preserve right in the heart of the city.” She’s a member of the park’s award-winning North Park Village Garden Club and routinely tends to her plants in the community garden. The 46-acre park with birding and hiking trails is only one of several expansive outdoor spaces in the neighborhood. Peterson Park is a 23-acre wooded green space with a state-of-the-art gymnastics center and fieldhouse that hosts social clubs, and the 80-acre LaBagh Woods is a popular spot for picnics and birdwatching amongst its large oaks, hickories and maples.

Peterson Park and Eugene Field Park offer opportunities to connect with the community, like senior social clubs, fitness classes, arts and crafts lessons and sports leagues for kids. The North Park Village Nature Center has a gardening club for adults and day camps for kids, and each March, they host a Maple Syrup Festival, where residents can learn how to collect sap from the trees and boil it into syrup.
