Pretty fun park. has a good pool, house and park. the other side to the south is better because it has nice paths, and also has a nice pond and stream.the most fun part of this park however, is the trail to the back of the tennis courts. it goes among the des plaines river and its really fun to walk along with friends.i hope you read my review and hope it helped you too! happy adventures

Very pretty, but there is a lot of goose poop on the east side. Nice water features. The ducks are sweet.

It is a great place for a walk. I am concerned of large people gathering to play volleyball. I also saw people using the Park as a bathroom.

Its a large park with a bunch of water features including two small children water falls , basketball court, and nice trails . Its all so next the river. A nice selection of wild life and is easy to get to. Go check it out . Theres also a baseball field .

Great place for a break when biking along north branch trail

I go here on a bike ride at least once a week. Would recommend to go on it if you have the chance really nice scenery and enjoyable ride. The park also has nice fields and a nice playground and pool.

We had our wedding here during covid. It was just the two of us, the officiant and our dog. The bystanders were very supportive of us and our goals and the park was clean and well maintained.

Ive lived by several of the parks in Chicago, and this one is my favorite. Its right next to the forest preserve, so I sort of lump it all together. Its amazing to be able to ride a bike around here and let my kids run around the field.

Nice. To toss the ball around with the kids and look at the creek for a couple hours of past time.

Neat little park for the city. My son likes to explore around the pond... Found some cool mammal bones. Also a chill place to sled in the winter.

Lovely park. Nice for walks. Saw lots of children there.

I had a great time walking around Gompers! Great place to walk around when missin a little nature in Chi-Town...

This is a great park with plenty of open space and is right next to the Northbranch trail. Ive lived near this park for years, and never spent too much time here but I recently brought my son here after we got some snow only to realize this park is ideal for sledding. The minute you walk up to the park you have hills that are steep enough for for kids and even adults to enjoy. My son, my nephews and myself decided to grab our sleds on a whim and had a great time while we were here. If you are looking for a good spot to sled, definitely try this place out or shout out some strong recommendations.

Beautiful park. Even saw a deer galloping around. Great chill spot.

I love Gompets. The park is lovely and our kids love running around there.

Love the place...ideal for outdoor sports and and amazing playground for kids...Also they have summer classes and pre-school program and so many other activities for adult as well as kids...Fishing area,ducks in the ponds...

We had a great time walking the path at Gompers today! The park hosted a wonderful variety of water fowl! There were Mallard ducks swimming and diving on one side. On the other side, we saw a small flock of geese enjoying the water. To top it off, we watched a beautiful craine take flight from a tree stump in the water!

Great facilities and a very nice trail around the lagoon

Pickles loved the bridge.

I had good times in this place

Giant trees, 2 ponds and a river. Parking. Rolling hills of grass. Baseball diamond for little league play. Swimming pool and sprinkler across Foster. River goes for miles thru Labaugh Woods, under the Sauganash Trail, and past Cicero. Less than 5 mile walk up 1 side of the river at foster and pulaski, go to Cicero to cross and come back other side. Amazing nature. Always see deer, sometimes coyotes.

Great natural area in the neighborhood.

A gem of a park with wetlands and a charming pond surrounded by rustic looking bridges and stone paths with a trickling stream. The area is undergoing an ecological restoration.However the fish appear to be gone from the pond other than a single carp I saw. I tried two different types of bait and different areas of the pond and did not get a nibble. The habitat is not great for fish with the lack of hiding places. As others noted it seems like the Park District no longer stocks it with fish and it was probably overfished in the past.

Grew up in the neighborhood. They have done many renovations to the park and continue to keep it well maintained. They hosts lots of different events. Great place for a family picnic. Their field house has many different classes for kids. Outdoor swimming pool is open to the public in the summer.

I wait for my bus here frequently

Unexpected lagoon-like area just across the road from Jewel. Ducks and other wildlife in a small but nicely setup city park along with tennis courts and a baseball field. A nice walkway aroundthe lagoon.

A nice little park, tucked behind a busy street. its clean, kid friendly, and safe.

Lots of playground equipment for kids of different sizes, and a soft sponge mat floor if your child does take a spill

This may not be the park for you if youre trying to take your kids to a large playground (Horner Park does better in that regard), but Gompers has enough of the Chicago River flowing through it (and accompanying wildlife) that its a perfect site for a nature lover. Also close enough to LaBagh Woods that taking a side trip to the forest preserve is both quick and easy.

A peaceful spot most days. Tennis courts, which are usually empty. A fishing pond thats not. Not enough space to feel truly secluded, but welcoming all the same.

Gompers Park is one of the safest park in the city. Staff are so polite and helpful

The worst ever, small, hot, limited parking, loud, no where to sit. Not fun Chicago park district missed on this one.

Nice for a morning walk but just cant get away from that AM log jam

Nice place for picnic

Great park, restrooms, clean water to wash hands. Tons of wild life. Great fishing for the kids.

Great park with Basketball grounds, tennis court, swimming pool, biking roads and running trails

Great place for a walk!

Nice place to relax and enjoy some free time as well as to even take your pets out for a walk.

The summer camp program was the best experience at Gompers Ive had so far, and it was awesome. The pool was good. The gym was fun. The art was fantastic. The fishing was great, and it was also pretty relaxing. The field trips are good too. In conclusion, take your kids to Gompers for summer camp.

Nice peaceful place to spend time with family or just a stroll in afternoon with your spouse !

Nice and safe place

Bathroom situation not ideal (not near playground or ball fields), and the water feature wasnt on. But nice place to hang on start of North Branch Trail.

Good to fish but don’t take the fish home to eat ... the fish same sick ....

It us an amamzing. Park to take pics at

Nice and peaceful... love doing things over there... ducks and turtles

I love Gompers Park because its in the city but has so much nature you forget your in the city.

Favorite park and hiking trail to take my dogs.

Like nice. Good place, environment Good.chgo.ill.Blessing..

Great softball/baseball organizations..nice pool and great programs at the field house.

Great place for all ages. Basketball, fishing, and quiet trails for walking, biking or running. Plenty of benches if you want to sit and read or just enjoy nature.

Because you see nature

This is one of my favorite places in the city. Its a little slice of wilderness. The pond area is always very peaceful and pretty. Its a little dirt this time of year but not that bad. Absolutely my favorite place to get my head together.

I love this park. I basically lived here from age 3 to 9

Nice place to relax. Did sweet sixteen photo shoot.

Nice and well kept with several features

It a really nice natural place to be at

The best local park in the area. It has greatly improved over the years. They have a pool, gym, trails, baseball field and a play area for children.

Great walk

Seen a dear this morning on the trail..

A safe park to take your kid

One of my favorite parks. Just two things you got to watch out for; first the pack of homeless slobs deficating on trees, and second, the narcotics officers who are driving their SUVS down the bike path at dusk without any headlights on.

The staff here are great.Ive been taking my children here for around a decade, and have never had a bad experience. Matter of fact, the staff treats us like family!I would most certainly recommend saint for children up for classes here. And the park is nice.

Nice park

Great city park, lots of space, picnic area, bike path, swimming pool, three baseball diamonds, two with lights, a full spectrum of youth baseball and softball leagues, playground, sledding after a good snow fall, one parking lot at the picnic area and another by Little Gompers, decent not great street parking in between, a great summer camp program, and a fieldhouse.The baseball fields all flood after significant rain fall as it is designed to do to control Chicago river flooding in the area.Starting 2018, avoid the little Gompers baseball field as it never fully dries out after their latest attempt to control the river flooding.

Nice park but no parking

Cool neighborhood park.

Ever since I was a kid I always thought this was a gorgeous park. A huge park. It took moving nearby to really realize just how big it is. 39 acres. Thats 1,698,640 sq. ft..or 29.5 fields. Thats a lot of green space spread across and down Foster Avenue and spanning the Chicago River. The natural area is 6.2 acres of some hilly, some wet, some woodland habitats. A fishing lagoon with pier access. Fed by prairie stream water. It does have River Rescue and stewardship opportunities. I love the footbridge over the river. The fishing area is back by Carmen. No canoe launch here - thats at River Park. Places to hike, walk, enjoy nature. Paths with stone. Plenty of room for sports. Baseball/softball, , tennis, a, basketball and a roller hockey rink.Gym in the Fieldhouse. Playground. Picnic grove. All that plus a full range of services & programs. Pre-school. Ballet. Arts & Crafts. Gymnastics include tiny tot tumbling. Conditioning and stretching for seniors. So much to enjoy. Folks do some sledding in winter.Just getting out and finding out what they have to offer was the best thing I did. When it rains everyone knows part of the park at Foster & Pulaski near the Samuel Gompers monument floods. Otherwise there is no downside here. A great park to be enjoyed. Free.

Relax walking

Nice and quite here in nature, good park

Great neighborhood park!

Huge place. Plenty of space to play, kids would surely enjoy it.

Wonderful wetland, lagoon, and park. Pool across Foster.

Natural ,nice place.

Fun small fishing ponds.

This was a great hidden gem I stumbled upon when I was looking for a nice place for an afternoon walk. The trails are new and quite. During out walk we discovered some deer and were in awe of how close we could get to them. Parking was plentiful and it seemed as if the main parking had plenty of places to relax and have a picnic.

This is a nice park along the Chicago River that offers lots of activities including swimming, baseball, basketball, tennis, and more. Since its along the river, flooding can be an issue in spots. The North Branch Trail starts at the west end of the park and runs all the way to the Chicago Botanic Garden.

My daughter has taken a few classes now at Gompers and he always has a wonderful time!Every teacher we have met has been delightful so far!

So many memories.

Very clean environment

Beautiful park but ruined by idiots drinking

Big, lovely park w/swimming pool.

What a gem in the city! This park has a lovely stocked water feature and wet land area. A truly magical place to get in touch with nature.

The coaches for soccer, pretty sure his name is Tracy, was terrible

Very nice and very clean park,Went there to watch little leaguebaseball game. Had bleachers for the parents to sit.

Gotta love the parque

Excellent piece of nature in a residential area

Theres not a lot of fish as before but the little league baseball field is alrigth

Ah great park I like it

Excellent urban birding.

Its a shame that this park is not well kept. Garbage everywhere. Sad!

It’s a nice place to take the kids out.

Loved it!

I grew up playing baseball and learning how to swim here. Fantastic public park with a field house, public pool, several baseball diamonds, tennis courts, basketball court, a pond for fishing, and a trail for walkers, joggers, and bikers. Two parking lots: one next to the basketball court and one next to the tennis courts.

Good hill for very young kids, under 4. Theres a river nearby that freezes over and you can go skating if feeling adventurous.

Nice little park

Beautiful

Cute little neighborhood park, with turtles!

We had a great time

Good park bring your bicycles and gear .. Eat and enjoy

Great peaceful place, good pond for fishing but needs to clean from garbage, nice artificial spring.
