DETAILS:

Arrigo (Victor) Park, formerly known as Vernon Park, covers about seven acres in the heart of Little Italy. It is an inviting place, bordered by trees. One can access Arrigo Park through various entrances located on West Lexington, South Ada Street and South Loomis Street. WHAT TO LISTEN FOR: The park entrances drone with cicadas and distant traffic. Every couple of hours The Shrine of our Lady Pompei located next to the park rings their bells, signaling the passage of time. The ringing of bells resonates throughout the park and surrounding structures that is accompanied by the movement of wind through the trees that carries throughout the park.
