The '''Bloomingdale Trail Park''', previously '''Park No. 572''', and also known as '''The 606''', operated by the [[Chicago Park District]], is a {{convert|15.6|acre||adj=on}} {{convert|2.56|mi|adj=on}} long [[elevated park|elevated]] [[linear park]] running east–west along Bloomingdale Avenue between [[Ashland Avenue]] and Ridgeway Avenue on the northwest side of [[Chicago]]. It is the longest [[greenway (landscape)|greenway]] project of a former elevated rail line in the [[Western Hemisphere]], and the second longest in the world, after the [[Promenade plantee]] linear park in [[Paris]].

The Park is in the [[Logan Square, Chicago|Logan Square]], [[Humboldt Park, Chicago|Humboldt Park]], and [[West Town, Chicago|West Town]] community areas.
