Established in 1878, Marquette Park, spanning 300 acres, pays homage to Father Jacques Marquette. A pioneering project by the South Park Commission, it's the largest of 14 parks designed by the Olmsted Brothers in 1903. Originally envisioned as "breathing spaces," the park evolved with features like a golf course, lagoons, and gardens. Deviating from the original plan, it adapted to community needs, incorporating playing fields, a nursery, and a golf shelter.
