George Ronan-- Part 13: Chicago's Ronan Park

The park district  soon signed a lease for 7.5 acres of water district land, and by the mid-1960s, playgrounds and green spaces lined both shores of the North Shore Channel.  In the 1990s the park district began leasing additional water district land, bringing the park's total acreage to nearly 13 acres.

The entire park was  rehabilitated and a bike path added as a larger plan to create a recreational corridor along the river.

The park is located at  3000 Argyle Street in Chicago, Illinois.
