Humboldt Park (Chicago park)

Humboldt Park is a 207-acre (84 ha) park located at 1400 North Sacramento Avenue on the West Side of Chicago, Illinois. William Le Baron Jenney began developing the park in the 1870s.

Between 1905 and 1920, Jensen connected the two lagoons with a river, planted a rose garden, and built a fieldhouse, boathouse, and music pavilion.[1]

The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[2]
