Park Boulevard is located in the historically and culturally rich Bronzeville Community, just 4 miles from Chicago’s downtown.  Its boundaries are 35th St. to the north, 39th St. to the south, State St. to the east and Federal St. to the west.  This 33 acre super block was the former site of CHA’s Stateway Gardens development that originally housed eight high-rise buildings (1644 units), a management office, community center and daycare facility.  By 2006 all original structures were demolished.
