The Chicago Park District worked with the City of Chicago, Chicago Public Schools, Chicago Housing Authority and its partner The Community Builders, Inc. In 2015, ground was broken in Ellis Park for a state-of-the-art field house providing the community with a greatly needed recreational and cultural facility. For years, the community lacked swimming facilities and other amenities. Today, CHA provides a number of scattered site rental apartments in the neighborhood. The Chicago Housing Authority demolished the Ida B. Over the years, the neighborhood surrounding Ellis Park continued to change. Improvements to the enlarged park included ball fields, tennis courts, as well as trees, lawns, and walkways. In 1962, the Park District purchased additional land east, west, and north of the original park from the City of Chicago, more than tripling its size. The City of Chicago transferred Ellis Park to the Chicago Park District in 1957 pursuant to the Chicago Park and City Exchange of Functions Act. To accommodate the area’s larger population, the city’s Bureau of Parks and Recreation (successor to the Special Park Commission) installed two new wading pools which drew more than 14,000 children the first summer.

In the early 1900s, the Special Park Commission reclaimed Ellis Park from the encroaching property owners. A decaying bandstand added to the sense of disorder. Its landscape was carved up by adjacent residents who extended sidewalks from their homes and planted trees and shrubs on either side. At that time, as wealthy residents move out, their homes were divided into apartments and rooming houses. The area surrounding Ellis Park, known as the Oakland community, had first developed as a fashionable neighborhood, fell into decline at the turn of the twentieth century. In 1855, Ellis subdivided his land holdings between 31st and 39th Streets, from Lake Michigan to South Park Boulevard (now Martin Luther King Drive), and donated a wedge-shaped parcel to the city for use as a public park. He owned and ran the Ellis Inn, farmed the land, and served as the area’s milkman. Having arrived in Chicago from Massachusetts in 1831, Samuel Ellis (1790 - 1856) helped defend Chicago during the 1832 Black Hawk War.Įllis purchased more than 135 acres of South Side lakefront property. One of Chicago’s oldest green spaces, Ellis Park honors Samuel Ellis for whom Ellis Avenue is also named.
