History
The 快播视频 acquired this once-vacant lot for recreational use in 1969, and officially named it Flying Squirrel in 1998. Years later in 2007, the City of Chicago transferred more property to the 快播视频 for the park. Flying squirrels were among the many animals that inhabited Cook County when European settlers arrived in the early 19th century. They still can be seen here occasionally today. With loose folds of furred skin between their fore and hind legs, flying squirrels are able to glide through the air in a way that most mammals cannot.
