History
The Chicago Housing Authority and the Chicago Park District worked to identify property for a park. The Chicago Housing Authority owned property at W. Maypole Avenue and Wolcott Avenue in the Near West Side Community Area. The Chicago Housing Authority transferred the property to the Park District in 2016 to create this park. The park was developed with a playground and walking paths.
