Dunbar Park (Chicago)

Dunbar Park is a park located at 300 East 31st Street in the Douglas community of South Side, Chicago, Illinois.^[1]

The 20-acre (81,000 m²) site was acquired in 1962, and transformed into Dunbar Park between 1964 and 1966.^[1] The park was named for poet Paul Laurence Dunbar.^[1]

Chicago Park District commissioned Chicago artist and sculptor Debra Hand to create a bronze statue of Dunbar in 2012. The statue, which is 9 feet (2.7 m) tall, was unveiled at the park in 2014.^[2]
