Stadiums Chicago Gunther Park

After housing the Gunther Nine of the Chicago City League and the Chicago Green Sox of the outlaw United States Baseball League, Gunther Park was replaced by Chase Park in 1913. Located 11 blocks north of Wrigley Field, it became a recreational park with tennis courts, basketball courts, playgrounds, baseball fields, soccer fields, and pools. After housing the Gunther Nine of the Chicago City League and the Chicago Green Sox of the outlaw and short-lived United States Baseball League, as well as many other local amateur sporting events, the site was redeveloped in 1920. It was converted into a recreational park for the benefit of the Ravenswood district, with tennis courts, basketball courts, playgrounds, baseball fields, soccer fields, and pools. It was renamed in honor of Salmon P. Chase.
