Dinah Washington Park is a park located at 8215 S. Euclid Avenue in the South
Chicago community area of Chicago, Illinois, USA. It was named for singer and
Chicago resident Dinah Washington. It is one of four Chicago Park District parks
named after persons surnamed Washington (the others being Washington
Park, Harold Washington Park and Washington Square Park). It is one of 40
Chicago Park District parks named after influential African Americans.[1]
The Chicago Park District purchased the vacant lot in 1972 with the help of
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.[2]
