City directories for 1867 and 1869-70 give the location of " Ogden Skating Park " as " Ontario , corner Seneca . " Seneca Street was one block east of St. Clair Street and two blocks east of Pine Street , which later became part of the extended Michigan Avenue . Seneca ran between Ontario Street and Illinois Street . It was erased as the land was developed . References to the park appear to cease after 1870 . It was , of course , inside the burn zone of the Great Chicago Fire in the fall of 1871
