Vote for ADA PARK Ada Park History Created in 1930, Ada Park provided recreational facilities for the Morgan Park neighborhood's expanding African-American population. The park was the last of those developed by the Calumet Park District, established in 1903. The Calumet Park District was one of 22 neighborhood park boards consolidated into the Chicago Park District in 1934. By 1931, Ada Park had a swimming pool and a few landscape improvements. After the Chicago Park District took control of the park in 1934, other recreational facilities were installed. The park district erected a new bath house for the swimming pool in 1940, and built "fieldhouse additions" to the bath house in 1957 and 1990. * Morgan Park residents founded the Roots Festival, a community reunion picnic held on the first Saturday in August in Ada Park. * Among Ada Park's unique cultural programming is square dance lessons taught by an African American square dance group called the T-Squares, who have won numerous awards and performed at the White House.
