Rosedale Park was the creation of the Jefferson Park District, established in 1920 to provide neighborhood parks for its rapidly-developing northwest side community. The Jefferson Park District acquired land for Rosedale Park from 1930-1932. By 1933, the district had issued contracts for site development, including an agreement to build a fieldhouse, one of three designed for the district by architect Clarence Hatzfeld. In 1934, Rosedale Park became part of the Chicago Park District’s portfolio when the Jefferson Park District and 21 other park commissions merged to form the new consolidated district.
Rosedale Park takes its name from the avenue that runs along its southern border. The street was in turn named for Rosedale, Pennsylvania, the hometown of John Lewis Cochran (1857-1923), the developer of the Edgewater community along Chicago's lakeshore.
