Ogden Park

It was on a piece of land east of where Ontario Street (at that time) T-ed into Michigan Avenue.

City directories for 1867 and 1869-70 give the location of "Ogden Skating Park" as "Ontario, corner Seneca."

On July 31, 1869, the park was the neutral site for a match between the Cincinnati Red Stockings and the Rockford Forest Citys.

During 1870 the park was rented to the professional, then-independent baseball club, the Chicago White Stockings, as a practice field and for a number of regulation games, usually against local or lesser-known opponents, or sometimes even college teams.

Overall, the White Stockings played about half their games at each venue, during a home season that ranged from late May to mid-November.
