| Brighton Park
is a neighborhood located on the southwest side of Chicago,
Illinois. It is number 58 of the 77 community areas
of Chicago.
Brighton Park 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 Pulaski Road and the west side of
Corwith Yards.
The neighborhood is a mix of
residential areas, commercial zones, industrial works
and transportation (primarily railroad and trucking
) facilities. It is relatively peaceful, according to
Chicago Police Department statistics (2004 CPD Annual
Report).
The seat of the Polish Highlanders
Alliance of North America is located here along Archer
Avenue just northwest of its intersection with Pulaski,
since most of Chicago's Góral community is concentrated
on Chicago's Southwest Side along Archer Avenue (Chicago). |
