Located along Broadway and Thorndale Avenues in the Edgewater neighborhood, Broadway Armory Park is the Chicago Park District's largest indoor recreational facility.
Officially purchased in 1998 after being no longer needed by the National Guard for military purposes, the massive, 87-year-old park facility today houses five gymnasia, a gymnastic center and 13 rooms. Broadway Armory's open space makes it ideal for Chicago Park District special sporting events such as citywide 3 on 3 soccer and volleyball.
Outside organizations and families use the park regularly for their own permitted events and parties. Community residents looking for a location for there special event or party are invited to check out the newly renovated community room. Skylights on the second floor room have been restored to allow more day lighting into the building. A new sustainable bamboo floor was also installed in the second floor community room. Call the park for room availability.
