Pulaski Park derives its name from the historic park and fieldhouse that was designed by Jens Jensen between 1912 and 1914. 1,200 people were displaced, leading to the razing of a number of buildings while others were moved to nearby locations in the neighborhood.[2]
The park and fieldhouse were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 13, 1981.[3] It became an official Chicago Landmark on July 29, 2003.[4]
The neighborhood in the park's vicinity within West Town is called Pulaski Park after the park.
