The oval-shaped tract of land now known as Almond Park was once the site of the Village of Morgan Park's water works.  The Village of Morgan Park acquired half of the property in 1887.  After the City of Chicago annexed the Village in 1914, the City transferred maintenance of the property to the Calumet Park District, one of 22 independent park commissions consolidated into the Chicago Park District in 1934. The Calumet Park District took control of the water works site in 1920, but never improved it. The property was transferred to the Chicago Park District in 1957 pursuant to the Chicago Park and City Exchange of Functions Act.  The Park District officially named the tiny greenspace Almond Park in 1974. The park was one of a number of properties named for trees and plants at this time. The ancient almond tree, mentioned frequently in the Old Testament, had its origins in China. The tree produces the world's most popular nut.
