Introduction
Edison Park, formerly known as Canfield, consists entirely of the Edison Park neighborhood and is named for Thomas Alva Edison and has one of the highest concentrations of Irish ancestry in Chicago.
Transportation
Edison Park is serviced by the Chicago L Blue Line, as well as the Union Pacific Northwest and Busses #209 and #68.
The area also has some access to Divvy rideshare, Lyft/Uber rideshare services, and taxi services. Unfortunately, this means that rideshare accidents, pedestrian accidents, motor vehicle accidents, and public transportation accidents can be common in the area.
Demographics
Edison Park has a population of 11,208 with 4,400 households in its 1.17 square miles. According to the most recent U.S. Census, the median income for the area is $86,300. With its low crime rate, Edison Park is ranked as one of the best neighborhoods in Chicago.
Education
Edison Park students are serviced by Chicago Public Schools as well as private schools. These include:
- Edison Park Elementary School
- Ebinger Elementary School
- St. Juliana School
When sending your child off to school you assume they will remain safe, however, this isn’t always the case. School bus accidents, gym and physical education accidents, lack of supervision, daycare accidents, playground injuries, and school district negligence are just a few examples of the types of school injury cases America’s Consumer Lawyer has experience with.
Attractions
Edison Park is home to some activities and attractions, which include:
- Olympia Park
- Brooks (Oscar) Park
- Edison Park
- Monument Park
- Edison Park Inn
- Nick’s Drive-In
While most of the time spent at these Edison Park attractions will be enjoyable and uneventful, accidents can occur, including premises accidents, slip and falls, bicycle accidents, bus accidents, car accidents, drinking and driving, dog bites, and playground accidents.
