Norwood Pk, located in the community area w/same name, dates to the 1920s. Thirty years earlier, the City of Chicago had annexed Norwood Pk Village, already a community of substantial homes. When residential development surged after 1910, citizens created a local park district to serve the area. Established in 1920, the Norwood Pk Dist was one of 22 park commissions consolidated into the Chicago Pk Dist in 1934. The Norwood Pk Distpurchased 14 acres for its 1st pk in 1921. Site drainage began in 1922, & bath house & swimming pool construction shortly thereafter. In 1928, the pk dist added a fieldhouse w/a 500-seat assembly hall. The community, & the park itself all take their names from Norwood, an 1867 novel by clergyman and abolitionist Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887). The moniker "Park" was added to the community name because Norwood was already the name of an Illinois post office. Norwood Pk boasts the only outdoor swimming pool on the N Side w/a water slide, becoming the destination for summer day camps & young swimmers in the neighborhood. On the sports side, young residents play flag football, floor hockey, outdoor soccer, track & field and tumbling.
