== Parks and recreation == [[File:Proksa Park Playground.JPG|thumb|Proksa Park in the winter]] Many parks and community centers are located within Berwyn. Two park districts and a recreation department maintain the city's recreational facilities and organize leagues and programming for youth, adults, and seniors. The city's largest park is Proksa Park, which comprises approximately {{convert|15|acre|m2}} of land. It contains numerous flower beds, 64 species of trees, 85 species of shrubs, as well as a small pond and stream. Recreational facilities include three tennis courts, two softball fields, and a large playground. Berwyn is also home to the Pav YMCA. In 1987, the [[YMCA]] opened at 2947 Oak Park Ave, on the former site of a lumber yard that had burned down a decade earlier. The building has an Olympic-sized indoor pool, racquet and handball courts, a gym, and exercise facilities. A rehabilitation center operated in conjunction with MacNeal Memorial Hospital is present as well. The following table includes a complete list of Berwyn's public parks and recreational centers: {| class="wikitable" ! colspan="2" |North Berwyn Park District ! colspan="2" |Berwyn Park District ! colspan="2" |Berwyn Recreation Department |- |Community Center / Pyrce Park |16th and Wesley |Freedom Park |3701 Scoville |Rec Center / Pavek Pool |6501 W. 31st |- |Berwyn Gardens |Maple and Cermak |Friendship Park |25th and Kenilworth |Janura Park |28th and East |- |Jefferson Field |16th and Wenonah |Hessler Park |34th and Kenilworth |Baseball Alley |East Ave. and 29th |- |Kriz Park |15th and Maple |Karasek Park |Windsor and Kenilworth |Karban Park |East and Ogden Alleys |- |Hett Park |19th and Cuyler |Liberty Cultural Center |6445 W. 27th Pl | | |- | | |Mraz Park |Oak Park and Riverside Dr | | |- | | |Proksa Park |3001 S.
