History

Located adjacent to Hale Elementary School in the Clearing Community Area, the Park District acquired land property in this area, as part of a ten-year plan to increase recreational opportunities in under-served neighborhoods in post-World War II.  The District acquired land for this 16+ acre park from 1947 -1955.  Hale Park is home to an outdoor swimming pool (ca. 1968) and a modern fieldhouse, designed by the firm of Schroeder, Murchie, Laya, Associates, Ltd., and dedicated in late 1998.

In 1953, the park was named for American patriot Nathan Hale (1755-1776). Hanged by the British as a spy, Hale may be best known for his famous last words: "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country."
