Celebrating in Back of the Yards
Where Back of the Yards hosts use heating & cooling
Sherman Park, a historic park with a lagoon and fieldhouse, and Davis Square Park give the neighborhood public green space for graduations and summer birthdays. Ashland, Halsted and 47th Street are the commercial spines, with bakeries, taquerias and banquet halls. Parishes anchor baptisms and communions, with receptions in halls and yards nearby.
Lots are narrow, many properties are older frame homes with gangways, and street parking is tight. We ask about access and ground conditions, plan for carrying chairs where trucks can't reach, and suggest styles that stack and move easily. Send your guest count and date, and we'll get you an itemized quote. A short planning call usually covers alley width, gate size and parking, which are the three details that matter most on these blocks.
