Phelps Field Park

About Phelps Field Park

The park was named for park commissioner Edmund J. Phelps in 1939. Prior to its official naming, the park was called Chicago Avenue Field. Phelps was a park commissioner from 1905 until he died in 1923, which made him the longest serving park commissioner in history at the time, surpassing William Folwell by several months. He was president of the park board in 1912 and 1913.
