The third South Side Park, the best known and longest lived venue by that name, was on the north side of 39th Street (now called Pershing Road) between South Wentworth Avenue and South Princeton Avenue. The 39th Street Grounds served as the playing field of the Chicago Wanderers cricket team during the 1893 World's Fair.
