Comment | The 1868 "Guide to Chicago" pp. 119-120 notes the existing Dearborn Park (west of Michigan Ave. between Randolph and Washington) and notes that a new Lake Park is planned, by filling in the basin east of Michigan Ave. (and directly east of Dearborn Park). The Chicagology website article on Dearborn Park (see https://chicagology.com/prefire/prefire052/) has a photo of Dearborn Park which appears to include the area that became Lake Front Park, and may have a baseball game in the background.
