Around 1970, the Dana Civic Association began urging the Chicago Park District to acquire a privately-owned lot which was being used as a Little League ball field in the crowded Logan Square neighborhood. Using U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grant funds, the park district purchased the site from the Churchill Cabinet Company in 1973. After acquiring the right-of-way to adjacent Bloomingdale Avenue in 1976, the park district upgraded the junior baseball field and installed permanent bleachers. In 1990, trees were planted to buffer the field from street traffic and a nearby elevated railroad track. The following year, the park was officially named Churchill Field Park at the request of the Near Northwest Neighborhood Network. The name makes reference to the property's former owner and to Churchill Street, which runs along the park's southern boundary. M.E. Churchill subdivided nearby property in the 1890s.
