History

Immediately after its establishment in 1920, the Norwood Park District developed the first of its parks, 14-acre Norwood Park. In 1926, the Pleasant Point Improvement Association called for additional recreational facilities in the neighborhood. Four years later, the park district selected a new park site, but residents balked at the property's high cost. Shortly thereafter, the park district chose the present site.  The Norwood Park District acquired this land in 1931 to create this park.  The landscape was immediately improved and fitted with playground equipment, and 1932, a shelter house and tennis courts were added. In 1934, Pleasant Point Park became part of the Chicago Park District’s inventory as the Norwood Park District, one of 22 park commissions was consolidated into the Chicago Park District.

For years, the park was commonly known as Norwood Playground despite its proximity to the much larger Norwood Park. In 1999, to avoid further confusion, the Chicago Park District officially designated the park Pleasant Point after its original promoters.
