Erhler Playlot Park

Erhler Playlot Park, located at 2230 W. Cortland St., is a small, soft, asphalt playground surrounded by lawn and trees, and is affiliated with Holstein Park.  It also includes a sandbox and an open field perfect for tossing a ball around.

Established in 1964 by the Board of Education, it was formerly known as Daisy Park before the Bucktown Community Organization (BCO) decided to change it in 1989 and name it after William Erhler, who was an active organizer of block clubs and a long-time president of the BCO. Not long afterwards, the park district refurbished the soft asphalt playground as it stands today.
