In the Chicago Magazine June/July 2024 issue, there is a very interesting article about the park. One of the most interesting things is that everyone assumed the railroad, Illinois Central, owned the land. Randy Mehreberg, senior advisor to the Mayor Daley, determined that the railroad company did not own the land but had an easement on the land! Forrest Claypool makes the statement that the park would have never happened without this finding.
