Dr. Conrad Worrill believed Chicago's young athletes deserved a place to train, compete, and thrive. His decades of advocacy helped bring that vision to life on the South Side. Today, Gately honors his legacy by creating opportunities for new generations to discover their abilities and pursue their potential.

From toddler programs and first-time athletes to specialized training and championship competition, Gately creates opportunities to grow at every stage. Through recreational classes and the Gately Park Athletic Club, participants develop skills, confidence, and discipline while pursuing their goals at local, regional, and national levels.

Gately is more than a place to compete. We welcome school graduations, educational fairs, community events, and family celebrations that bring people together. By serving youth, adults, seniors, and local organizations, the center creates a space to connect, celebrate important milestones, and strengthen Chicago's South Side.
