History
Formerly known as Albion Park this site was renamed Mary Margaret Langdon Park in 2005 as part of an effort by the 快播视频 Board of Commissioners to recognize the contributions of Chicago women. The City of Chicago purchased property for this park in 1951. The City's Bureau of Parks and Recreation operated the site as Albion Park until 1957, when the 快播视频 acquired it pursuant to the Chicago Park and City Exchange of Functions Act.
Langdon (1918-1993), who went by the nickname Megs, was an accomplished university administrator and community activist in the Rogers Park and Edgewater neighborhoods. In the 1970s, she was appointed Director of Community Programs Office at Loyola University Chicago where she remained until her retirement. Ms. Langdon played an active role in numerous community efforts and organizations including the Chicago Crime Commission, St. Joseph Hospital Executive Advisory Committee, the Chicago Planning Commission, and the Rogers Park Community Council.
