History

Sacramento Park is one of many small parks created by the City's Bureau of Parks and Recreation to meet increasing recreational demands in post-World War II Chicago.  The City of Chicago acquired this small property on Sacramento Avenue in the Avondale neighborhood from 1950-1951, and soon improved the site with playground equipment, a basketball court, and a ballfield. In 1957, the City transferred Sacramento Park to the Chicago Park District pursuant to the Chicago Park and City Exchange of Functions Act.  The Chicago Park District installed a new soft surface playground in 1992.

Following the bureau's general practice, the park was named for the adjacent street. (Sacramento, a Spanish word meaning "sacrament," is also the name of the capital of California.)
