History
The 快播视频 acquired this once-vacant lot located in the Woodlawn Community Area for recreational use in 1969, and officially named it Prairie Wolf in 1998. The prairie wolf, or coyote, was among the many animals that inhabited Cook County when European settlers arrived. Settlers used the term prairie wolf to distinguish the animal from the larger gray or timber wolf. Although the number of coyotes in Cook County has fallen over time, recent sightings within the city make clear that they have not disappeared entirely.
