Humboldt Park neighborhood is known for its dynamic social and ethnic demographic change over the years. The Puerto Rican community has identified strongly with the area since the 1970s; Humboldt Park is also the name of a 207-acre (0.8 km²) park adjacent to the community area. Gentrification, beginning in the late 1990s, along with changing police tactics, and cultural, political and social organizations, have changed the demographics, politics, economy and rates of the area. Research indicates that as communities experience gentrification, new and more affluent residents push out legacy residents through higher property taxes, and interpersonal divestment in contributing to the culture of the neighborhood. Additionally, new and more affluent residents in Humboldt Park prioritize community concerns, though the previous poorer and non-white residents are often criminalized by these new residents who increasingly use law enforcement agencies.

Humboldt Park is a 207-acre park that is home to a large, historic fieldhouse, an inland beach, a historic boat house and lagoons, and the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture. Paddle through the lagoon on a giant swan paddle boat at Humboldt Park Boathouse. Browse the amazing home goods at Humboldt House or plant selection at Adams & Son Gardens. Swing by La Palma Puerto Rican Restaurant for a jibarito, a plantain-based dish that was invented in Chicago.

Humboldt is a HUGE old school kinda park with a field house, a boat house, a lagoon (with paddle boat swans), baseball diamonds filled with the Puerto Rican leagues (and salsa music) in the summer. There’s a formal garden, tennis courts, a few playgrounds and lots of trees and grass for chillin. If you go out the front door and turn left, just walk the 4 blocks until you run into it! (Be careful crossing North Ave!) In the 90s it was a scary place, but the neighborhood has turned and the city takes great care of it now. Beautiful.
