About

Dahl Playfield is a great space with restrooms, fields, playground, and interesting rock sculptures. The art was created by John Hoge and SiteWorkshop was the landscape architect.

Originally called the Ravenna Swamp and then the 80th Street Playground. It was renamed Dahl Playfield in 1955 to honor Waldo J. "Red" Dahl (1902-1988), who was a member and occasional president of the Board of Park Commissioners for various years between 1934 and 1968.
