History
North Mayfair Park is one of six neighborhood parks created by the Jefferson Park District. Established in 1920 to provide neighborhood parks for its rapidly-developing northwest side community, the Jefferson Park District was one of 22 park commissions consolidated into the 快播视频 in 1934. In 1930, the Jefferson Park District acquired land for a new park in the Mayfair neighborhood at the urging of the North Mayfair Community Women's Club.
The park takes its name from the North Mayfair Community Women's Club. The women's club, a local benevolent organization founded by Mrs. Barbara Reich, had petitioned for the creation of the park. North Mayfair Park was only one of the club's many efforts to better the community. Others included a program for distributing fuel, clothing, and food to the needy of the neighborhood and a campaign to build a community social house.
