The 207-acre Humboldt Park is part of Chicago's historic boulevard park system. Landscape architect Jens Jensen shaped much of its natural landscape and water features. Its historic buildings include the boathouse on the lagoon, the field house and the 1895 Humboldt Park Stables, a Chicago Landmark that now houses the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture.
Paseo Boricua, the stretch of Division Street between two 59-foot steel Puerto Rican flags installed in 1995, is the neighborhood's best-known commercial corridor, with restaurants, shops and murals. The area was officially renamed Barrio Borikén in 2024, and the annual Puerto Rican festival and parade fill the park and Division Street each June.
