History
The City of Chicago purchased land for Morgan Field Park from 1948 until 1950, using Playground Bond funds. The City soon transformed the site into a playlot and field. In 1957, the City transferred the park to the Chicago Park District pursuant to the Chicago Park and City Exchange of Functions Act. Morgan Field Park lies adjacent to Higgins Elementary School.
The park was named for neighboring Morgan Street. In 1844, Englishman Thomas Leeds Morgan (1802-1883) began to buy area property that eventually totaled 3,000 acres. "Upwood," his homestead, later became the location of the Village of Morgan Park.
