South Shore Cultural Center

South Shore Cultural Center This is the official page for South Shore Cultural Center, owned and operated by the Chicago Park District.

The South Shore Cultural Center, a 65-acre park with a golf course, a bathing beach, and an impressive building, originated as the South Shore Country Club. Located in the South Shore community, South Shore Cultural Center has been recognized as a Chicago Landmark (2004) and is also listed on the National Register (1975). This cultural haven was founded in 1905 and later rebuilt in 1916. Bought by

the Chicago Park District in 1975, this historic building was restored as a historic landmark after a massive community campaign led by the Chicago Park District and historic preservationists.
