CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) — Welles Park, located in Chicago’s Lincoln Square neighborhood, is getting some new upgrades.

Three new pickleball courts and revamped horseshoe pits and volleyball courts at Welles Park are part of a $400,000 project that funds the improvement of popular park spaces.

The Chicago Park District said these improvements “intend to ensure the community has access to the best amenities only found in Chicago parks.”

Patrons might notice new clay and turf on the historic horseshoe pits and new sand, posts, and netting on the volleyball courts.

The park was established in 1930.
