King Lockhart Park in Chicago, IL is a 0.56 acre site located in the Beverly neighborhood, serving as a memorial to two heroic firefighters, Patrick King and Anthony Lockhart, who tragically lost their lives in the line of duty in 1998. The park features a central plaza with bricks laid out in the shape of a Chicago Fire Department Shield, seat walls inscribed with words like community and courage, and two pergolas marking the locations where the firefighters died.
Acquired by the Chicago Park District in 2009 and officially named in 2012, King Lockhart Park provides a quiet and reflective green space for the community. The park's design, created by Daniel Weinbach Partners Landscape Architects, offers a respite in the neighborhood while honoring the bravery and sacrifice of the two Chicago heroes.
