Hubbard Street
Originally begun in the 1970s, the murals have been in the process of restoration or replacement as the Union Pacific Railroad has been making repairs to the concrete structure.Located nearby are the 33 Magnificent Mile Express, 49 Western, and 65 Grand buses for the Chicago Transit Authority.There is also access to the Merchandise Mart Brown and Purple Line 'L' station on Wells Street just south of Hubbard.By 1950, the Bureau of Parks and Recreation had developed this playlot on property owned by the Board of Education in the Austin community.The park district installed a new soft surface playground in 1989, and purchased the property from the Board of Education the following year.
