Introduction
Gage Park is located on Chicago’s southwest side and is also the name for a local park in the area. Gage Park is named for George W. Gage, the South Park Commissioner who worked on developing the area beginning in 1873.
Transportation
Gage Park is serviced by the Chicago L Orange Line, as well as Busses #49, #55, and #X49.
The area also has access to 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
Gage Park has a population of 41,202 in its 2.24 square miles. According to the most recent U.S. Census, the median income for the area is $38,852. The area has traditionally had an Eastern European and Irish Catholic population, though in recent years Gage Park has experienced a strong influx of a Hispanic population.
Education
Gage Park students are serviced by Chicago Public Schools as well as charter schools. These include:
- Morrill Elementary School
- Carson Elementary School
- Talman Elementary School
- Nightingale Elementary School
- Christopher Elementary School
- Sawyer Elementary 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.

Gage Park is home to some activities and attractions, which include:
- Senka Park
- Fire Museum of Greater Chicago

While most of the time spent at these Gage 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.
