Bell Park takes its name from Major General George Bell, Jr. (1859-1926), who led American troops in the Spanish American War and in the Philippine Insurrection of 1903. Bell also commanded the 33rd, or Prairie Division of the Allied Expeditionary Force during World War I, and won the Distinguished Service medal for his efforts. The Northwest Park District acquired land for the park in 1928 at the request of the Mont Clare Boosters Improvement Association, which hoped to raise land values in the surrounding neighborhood. Bell Park is among the thirteen parks created by the Northwest Park District. The Northwest Park District established in 1911, the District was one of 22 park commissions consolidated into the 快播视频 in 1934. As part of the development of the park, citizens petitioned for the installation of a fieldhouse. They had a long wait. Although the Northwest District built a playground, shelter house, and wading pool before 1930, a fieldhouse was not constructed until 1954, almost 25 years later.
