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.
