Brighton Park is a community located on the southwest side of Chicago and is bordered on the north by the former Illinois & Michigan Canal and the current Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, on the east by Western Avenue, on the south by 51st Street, and on the west by Central Park Avenue and the west side of Corwith Yards.

Brighton Park is primarily a peaceful residential community with some commercial zones and industrial works and transportation in the form of railroads and trucking. Former Chicago Mayor “Long” John Wentworth built the community’s horse race track, which has become McKinley Park. Brighton Park is conveniently located near the Stevenson Expressway, Interstate 55, Chicago’s Midway Airport, and has access to the Orange Line “L” train into Chicago’s loop. The European influence is highly visible in the community with the Balzekas Museum of Lithuanian Culture and the Polish Highlander Alliance. Although many European monuments grace the landscape, the Latino population has increased greatly within the past decade.

The community is a mix of single-family homes, 2 and three flats, and some vacant land that is ready for development.
