About Lincoln Park Archery Club

History

Founded in 1925, we are a semi-private archery club using Chicago Park District land set aside specifically for archery. We are a registered 501(c)(3) Non-Profit committed to community engagement and the continuation of the sport we love. The more bowshooters out there, the better. Our members include former national champions, professional archers, casual arrow-slingers, and everything in between.
