The 20-acre (81,000 m2) site was acquired in 1962, and transformed into Dunbar Park between 1964 and 1966.[1] The park was named for poet Paul Laurence Dunbar.[1]
Chicago Park District commissioned Chicago artist and sculptor Debra Hand to create a bronze statue of Dunbar in 2012. The statue, which is 9 feet (2.7 m) tall, was unveiled at the park in 2014.[2]
