For more details on the fire and the building restoration, see Indian Boundary Park Fieldhouse. Fortunately, the Chicago Park District committed to restoration of the building to its pre-fire condition, salvaging architectural or ornamental features from the debris to aid the effort. On May 20, 2012, disaster struck when an electrical fire started in a storage room in the Cultural Center attic, resulting in a collapsed roof, shattered windows, crumbling interior beams and a ten-foot high pile of debris in the center of the building’s Native-American motif auditorium. The building is designated a Chicago Park District Cultural Center, offering various art, dance and music programs for both children and adults, with some classes held on the building’s back porch, so that artists can use the park’s scenery as inspiration. In 1989, a large playground was added to the park and assembled with the help of West Ridge neighborhood residents. A small zoo zoo was established, one of only two within the Chicago limits, and the park’s classic Tudor-Revival style Indian Boundary Park Fieldhouse was added in 1929. Tennis courts were built in 1924, and the existing marshy pond was turned into a lagoon stocked with ducks and swans.

Gloede, a series of improvements throughout the 1920s made the park an appealing attraction for new residents. Beginning in 1918 with landscape design by Richard F. By 1922, the park had expanded to its current size of 13 acres, and residential development was beginning to take hold along its edges. One hundred years later, in 1916, the Ridge Avenue Park District established Indian Boundary Park on land along the north end of the boundary area in still-undeveloped West Ridge. The northern edge of the treaty area was marked by the North Indian Boundary Line, now Rogers Avenue. The purpose of the treaty was to establish a passage where white settlers could safely travel to the west, but by 1833, white settlement had become permanent and the Indian tribes were driven from the area. In 1816,the United States negotiated a treaty with the Council of Three Fires, the United Tribes of Ojibwa, Ottawa and Potawatomi Indians. Indian Boundary Park and Cultural Center was a featured location during openhousechicago 20. Included in the 1992-1993 Rogers Park/West Ridge Historical Tour, the 1999 Annual Fall House Tour, the 2010 Annual House Tour and the 2016 Annual House Tour. Indian Boundary Park is bounded by Estes Avenue on the North, Lunt Avenue on the South, Rockwell Street on the West and a property line which aligns with Artesian Avenue on the East.
