Shipe Neighborhood Park and Playground is great for swimming, tennis, basketball, playing on the playground, and more.

While parts of this two-acre park are currently under construction, the playground remains small but mighty – perfect for any family, nanny, or babysitter wondering the Hyde Park neighborhood for a couple hours. Tennis courts are also available, and just a block away park-goers can find the Elisabet Ney Museum featuring art and life memorabilia of the artist.
